Q: What Is An Algorithm? What are the criteria an algorithm must satisfy or describe the characteristics of an algorithm. Answers : An Algorithm is a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for calculations. Algorithms are used or calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning. An algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function. Starting from an initial state and initial input the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state.  Criteria: i. Input: Zero or more quantities or quire should be inputted externally. ii. Output: At least one quantities should be produced. iii. Definiteness: Each instruction is clear and definite. iv. Finiteness: For n terms of cases the algorithm should terminate it’s process after n terms. v. Effectiveness: Must be very basic and feasible.
