Selena Sol Individual Algorithms Algorithms are merely pieces of code that perform an action in a specific way. However, its usage is very specific.
Programs typically consist of many such routines put together.
However, there comes a time when you will want to make the routine generic so that you can call it over and over again in other parts of the program without having to rewrite it. This is where application- specific subroutines come in. Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.
