ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 7 of 100
An algorithm is a finite processing procedure for accomplishing a specific purpose or solving a defined problem. It describes an ordered sequence of unambiguous steps that transforms input into the required output and can be implemented in a program.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- artificial languages for writing computer instructions are programming languages
- computer-assisted design of buildings or products is CAD
- software that translates source programs into machine language is a compiler
Key rule: An algorithm is the method or step sequence; a programming language expresses it, and a compiler translates an implementation.
