2. Explain Computer Algorithm and its Significance.

 

A computer algorithm is a finite set of well-defined, unambiguous instructions, typically used to solve a problem or perform a computation. It's like a recipe or a step-by-step procedure that, given an initial state, will proceed through a series of operations to arrive at a desired end-state.

Key characteristics of an algorithm:

Input: It must take zero or more inputs.

Output: It must produce one or more outputs.

Definiteness: Each step must be precisely defined and unambiguous.

Finiteness: It must terminate after a finite number of steps.

Effectiveness: Each step must be sufficiently basic that it can be carried out, in principle, by a human using only pencil and paper.
