daangelo29 5 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 Algorithm is a sequence of finite instructions. It is where "a list of instructions for completing a task will, when given an initial state, proceed through a series of successive states, eventually terminating or ending in an end-state." Here's a simple representation: If the description I've given you above isn't simple enough for 'ya, just try understanding the image shown with the help of the description.

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) So it would still kinda require programming, right? Algorithm is one of the basics of programming. But in Informatics, I'm not sure but I don't think it is necessary to require programming. Algorithms are used in calculations and data processing, all computer stuff, but they are also used in non-computer stuff like mathematics and linguistics (study of language).
