Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is true of algorithms?
A
Algorithms may have an infinite set of instructions
B
Algorithms must be expressed using a programming language
C
Every algorithm can be constructed using combinations of sequencing, selection, and iteration
D
Every problem can be solved with an algorithm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"Every algorithm can be constructed using combinations of sequencing, selection, and iteration” is true.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every algorithm can be constructed using combinations of sequencing, selection, and iteration. Sequencing: The application of each step of an algorithm in the order in which the code statements are given. Selection: Selection determines which parts of an algorithm are executed based on a condition being true or false.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: b) Algorithms are step-by-step rules for reaching a particular solution. Explanation: Algorithm is defined as step-vise procedure of solving and gaining a definite answer for a particular problem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Algorithms have unambiguous operations. Algorithms have effectively computable operations. Algorithms produce a result. Algorithms halt in a finite amount of time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Question: Which of the following is true of two algorithms designed to solve the same problem? If two algorithms solve the same problem they must have the same efficiency.
