Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does an algorithm have to do with processing?
A
Algorithms are the steps that change it from input to an output
B
Algorithms have nothing to do with processing
C
Algorithms are the steps that change it from output to input
D
Algorithms are a series of steps
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Algorithms are essential to the way computers process data. Many computer programs contain algorithms that detail the specific instructions a computer should perform-in a specific order-to carry out a specified task, such as calculating employees’ paychecks or printing students’ report cards.

Detailed explanation-2: -Algorithm: any well-defined computational procedure that takes some value, or set of values, as input and produces some value, or set of values, as output. An algorithm is thus a sequence of computational steps that transform the input into the output.” [Introduction to Algorithms, 2nd Edition by Thomas H.

Detailed explanation-3: -An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve a problem. The algorithm is implemented using a programming language and we get a Program. Algorithm written correctly, helps to solve the problem in a precise manner. Develop an algorithm to cross a highway on foot.

Detailed explanation-4: -An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure that defines a set of instructions that must be carried out in a specific order to produce the desired result. Algorithms are generally developed independently of underlying languages, which means that an algorithm can be implemented in more than one programming language.
