MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -Such a finite sequence of steps needed to pick up the asked product is called an algorithm. It’ll direct to the asked result in a finite quantum of time if succeeded rightly. The algorithm has a definite start and a finite end and consists of a limited number of steps.

Detailed explanation-2: -finiteness: if we trace out the instructions of an algorithm, then for all cases the algorithm will terminate after a finite number of steps; effectiveness: every instruction must be sufficiently basic that it can in principle be carried out by a person using only pencil and paper.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, an algorithm should always stop after a finite number of steps, otherwise we would call it a procedure or process or computation specification. A procedure that doesn’t halt for certain inputs can be considered partial algorithms. Algorithms are more useful, since they terminate for any input.

Detailed explanation-4: -An algorithm is a finite sequence of instructions for performing a task. By finite we mean that there is an end to the sequence of instructions.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
