Detailed explanation-1: -An algorithm is a sequence of unambiguous instructions for solving a problem, i.e., for obtaining a required output for any legitimate input in a finite amount of time [Levitin, p. 3].
Detailed explanation-2: -An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a problem or accomplishing a task.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unambiguity: A perfect algorithm is defined as unambiguous, which means that its instructions should be clear and straightforward. Finiteness: An algorithm must be finite. Finiteness in this context means that the algorithm should have a limited number of instructions, i.e., the instructions should be countable.
Detailed explanation-4: -An algorithm is a strictly defined finite sequence of well-defined statements (often called instructions or commands) that provides the solution to a problem or to a specific class of problems for any acceptable set of input values (if there are any inputs).
