Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An algorithm can simply be defined like this: An algorithm is a set of instructions that precisely describe an activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -An algorithm is a procedure used for solving a problem or performing a computation. Algorithms act as an exact list of instructions that conduct specified actions step by step in either hardware-or software-based routines. Algorithms are widely used throughout all areas of IT.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sequencing is the application of each step of an algorithm in the order in which the code statements are given.
Detailed explanation-4: -3. DEFINITENESS : Each instruction is clear and unambiguous. algorithm terminates after a finite number of steps.
