An algorithm is a procedure or set of steps to solve a problem in a specific order. It consists of sequence, selection, iteration, and case-type statements. Common iteration statements in algorithms include while, do, and for loops. A computer program can be viewed as an elaborate algorithm, and applying an algorithm to input produces an output through computation.

2. Algorithm
• An algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem in
terms of the actions to be executed and the order in
which those actions are to be executed.
• An algorithm is merely the sequence of steps taken
to solve a problem. The steps are normally
"sequence," "selection, " "iteration," and a casetype statement.
• In C, "sequence statements" are imperatives.
• The "selection" is the "if then else" statement, and
the iteration is satisfied by a number of statements,
such as the "while," " do," and the "for," while the
case-type statement is satisfied by the "switch"
statement.

3. Algorithm
• An algorithm (pronounced AL-go-rith-um) is a
procedure or formula for solving a problem.
• The word derives from the name of the
mathematician, Mohammed ibn-Musa alKhwarizmi.
• A computer program can be viewed as an
elaborate algorithm.
• In mathematics and computer science, an
algorithm usually means a small procedure that
solves a recurrent problem.

4. Algorithm
• An algorithm is a specific set of instructions
for carrying out a procedure or solving a
problem.
• Specific algorithms sometimes also go by
the name method, procedure, or technique.
• The process of applying an algorithm to an
input to obtain an output is called a
computation.
