Algorithm explained for beginners

An algorithm is a set of clear instructions that show how to do something step by step.

For example, a cooking recipe is an algorithm. It tells you what to do first, what comes next, and when you are finished.

Computers also work with such instructions. They follow each step exactly as it is given.

If all steps are correct, the result will also be correct.

An algorithm is therefore a step-by-step plan to solve a problem.
