Lesson 1
Algorithm
• is a finite set of instructions or logic, written in order, that tha
machine follows to accomplish a certain task.
• not the complete code or program, it is just the core
logic(solution) of a problem, which can be expressed either as
an informal high level description as pseudocode or using
a flowchart.
Pseudocode

• one of the methods that can be used to represent an algorithm.


• uses (informal) English-like phrases to outline the program
• a "text-based" detail (algorithmic) design tool.
