Detailed explanation-1: -The CSP definition of algorithm is: “a precise sequence of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer and are implemented using programming languages.” Even though you were all trying to solve the same problem (find min) as a class we came up with different methods for doing it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sequencing is the specific order in which instructions are performed in an algorithm. For example, a very simple algorithm for brushing teeth might consist of these steps: put toothpaste on toothbrush. use toothbrush to clean teeth.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Definition 2.1. An algorithm is a finite sequence of instructions for performing a task.
