The field of Computer Science revolves around writing of programs for several problems for various domains. A program consists of data structures and algorithms. An algorithms is a set of steps required to solve a problem. These steps are performed on a sample data representing an instance of the problem. Thus an algorithm maps a set of input data to a set of output data through a sequence of operations. An algorithm must have the following properties:
- Input: Input data, supplied externally
- Output: Result of the program
- Finiteness: In every case, algorithm terminates after finite number of steps.
- Definiteness: The steps should be clear and unambiguous.
- Effectiveness: An Algorithm should be written using basic instructions. It should be feasible to convert the algorithm in a computer program.
The algorithm is basically a set of steps written to reduce the complexity of the actual program. Writing an algorithm is essential for any program in absolutely any programming language.
