Study Notes
Algorithm Characteristics
- The primary characteristic of an algorithm is definite procurement, which means it should produce a result or output.
- The characteristic of an algorithm related to execution time is efficiency, which refers to the amount of time and resources required to complete the task.
Initiating an Algorithm
- The starting point of an algorithm is indicated by the START statement.
The Purpose of the STOP Statement
- The purpose of the STOP statement in an algorithm is to indicate the termination point, marking the end of the algorithm.
Essential Elements of an Algorithm
- Input is an essential element for writing an algorithm, as it provides the necessary data for the algorithm to process.
