Algorithm Compressed

The document outlines the objectives of a lesson on algorithms, emphasizing the ability to describe, recognize, and develop algorithms for problem-solving. It defines algorithms as finite sets of rules for solving problems and discusses their use in computer science, highlighting both advantages, such as ease of understanding, and disadvantages, including time consumption and complexity. Additionally, it provides prerequisites for designing an algorithm, including problem definition, constraints, inputs, and expected outputs.

ALGORITHM

OBJECTIVE

At the end of the Lesson the student must be able to:

Describe Recognize that


algorithms Develop a set alternative
through varied of algorithms to algorithm in

The word Algorithm means "A set of finite
rules or instructions to be followed in
calculations or other problem-solving
operations" Or "A procedure for solving a
mathematical problem in a finite number of
steps that frequently involves recursive
What is operations"

Algorithm? Therefore Algorithm refers to a sequence of


finite steps to solve a particular problem.

To write an algorithm, the following things are
needed as a pre-requisite:

1.The problem that is to be solved by this


algorithm i.e. clear problem definition.
2.The constraints of the problem must be
considered while solving the problem.
3.The input to be taken to solve the
How to Design problem.
4.The output is to be expected when the
an Algorithm? problem is solved.
5.The solution to this problem is within the
given constraints.

Then the algorithm is written with the help of


the above parameters such that it solves the
problem.
