WHAT IS PROGRAMMING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When can Algorithms be used?
A
Only with computers.
B
Only with flowcharts.
C
Only when programming.
D
Any time to design solutions to problems.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is (a) any time to design solutions to problems. The word Algorithm signifies “an interaction or set of rules to be continued in computations or other critical thinking tasks".

Detailed explanation-2: -An algorithm could be used for sorting sets of numbers or for more complicated tasks, like recommending user content on social media. Algorithms typically start with initial input and instructions that describe a specific computation.

Detailed explanation-3: -When designing an algorithm there are two main areas to look at: the big picture-What is the final goal? the individual stages – What hurdles need to be overcome on the way to the goal?

Detailed explanation-4: -Algorithms play a crucial role in computing by providing a set of instructions for a computer to perform a specific task. They are used to solve problems and carry out tasks in computer systems, such as sorting data, searching for information, image processing, and much more.

Detailed explanation-5: -Algorithms can be designed for any type of problem, i.e. mathematical, logical, or any complex problems. Example: Depth-first-search, traveling salesman, sorting algorithms, etc. But, after some steps, the algorithm would result in a finite solution before ending.
