ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 7 of 100
An algorithm is a processing procedure for accomplishing a particular purpose. It specifies a finite, ordered sequence of unambiguous steps that transforms inputs into the intended outputs or solution.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- software that converts programs into machine language is a compiler
- artificial languages used to instruct computers are programming languages
- computer-assisted design of buildings and products is CAD
Key rule: An algorithm describes the solution procedure independently of the programming language used to implement it.
