This assignment involves creating an algorithm. An algorithm (pronounced AL-go-rith-um) is a procedure or formula for solving a problem. We will see in future weeks how the detailed steps of this type of procedure relate to pseudocode and in general to the development of programming flow and logic.An algorithm is a specific set of instructions for carrying out a procedure or solving a problem usually with the requirement that the procedure terminate at some point. Specific algorithms sometimes also go by the name method procedure or technique. The word algorithm is a distortion of al-Khwrizm a Persian mathematician who wrote an influential treatise about algebraic methods. Weisstein E. (n.d.). Algorithm.
