True or False:Algorithms are never written to support a particular programming code
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are no well-defined standards for writing algorithms. Rather, it is problem and resource dependent. Algorithms are never written to support a particular programming code. As we know that all programming languages share basic code constructs like loops (do, for, while), flow-control (if-else), etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: An algorithm becomes a program when it is written in the form of a programming language. Thus, any program is an algorithm. 7.

Detailed explanation-3: -An algorithm is not computer code; it’s written in plain English and may be in the form of a flowchart with shapes and arrows, a numbered list, or pseudocode (a semi-programming language).

Detailed explanation-4: -Algorithms are typically written in a step-by-step fashion, but this is not always the case. Algorithm writing is a process that occurs after the problem domain has been well-defined. That is, you must be aware of the problem domain for which you are developing a solution.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer. Answer: Any algorithm is a program. Explanation: The statement is false.
