• An algorithm is a specific procedure for solving a well-defined computational problem.
• Computer algorithms work via input and output. They take the input and apply each step of the algorithm to that information to generate an output.
• We can easily visualise algorithms as a flowchart.
• Algorithm terminates after a finite number of steps.
