It's a step by step procedure to solve a problem. There is no specific rules for writing algorithm except some guidelines. It is a logical way of solving a problem. It helps you to create a program easily.

From what i know, algorithm is something that we do, but it's explained step by step example: When we usually want to call someone we just say:,,I'm taking the phone and i'm calling someone" In algorithms calling someone will look like this: 1.Go next to the phone 2.Pick up the phone 3.Write the number 4.Put the phone next to your ear 5.Wait for the person to answer the phone 6.Start talking with the person And more...

bunny an algorithm is are Ordered steps that solve a mathematical problem. A precise step-by-step plan for a computational procedure that possibly begins with an input value and yields an output value in a finite number of steps.

Well, I will explain you this, so that even a small kid would understand😉 Algorithm is like your day. First, you get up from your bed-> only then you take a shower -> Have a breakfast/or not ->| | If the weather is normal-> then you go to work \ Else -> you stay at home and do what you want If you understand this, it is easy to illustrate this situation in program. In role of 'you' would be a compiler that completes given tasks ___step by step___ untill the expected result😏

TECHNICALLY, any small program can be called an algorithm. But when programmers refer to 'algorithms' they're usually referring to a highly mathematically complex function to complete a task.
