what is an algorithm?
A
a piece of hardware
B
a series of steps to solve a problem
C
a subroutine within a program
D
a computer program
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The word Algorithm means ” A set of finite rules or instructions to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations ” Or ” A procedure for solving a mathematical problem in a finite number of steps that frequently involves recursive operations”.

Detailed explanation-2: -An algorithm is a defined set of step-by-step procedures that provides the correct answer to a particular problem. By following the instructions correctly, you are guaranteed to arrive at the right answer. An algorithm is often expressed in the form of a graph, where a square represents each step.

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: -Algorithmic problem solving is solving problem that require the formulation of an algorithm for the solution. ALGORITHMIC PROBLEM SOLVING: Algorithmic problem solving is solving problem that require the formulation of an algorithm for the solution.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are four types of machine learning algorithms: supervised, semi-supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement.
