Source sentences:
text: The algorithm, as a set of rules proceeding from inputs to output, must be precise and definite with each successive step clearly determined.
text: It is a set of precise steps that need no great mental effort to follow but which, if obeyed exactly and mechanically, will lead to some desirable outcome.
text: As nouns the difference between program and algorithm is that program is a set of structured activities while algorithm is 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.
text: In computing, an algorithm is a precise list of operations that could be done by a Turing machine.
text: Because an algorithm is a precise list of precise steps, the order of computation is always crucial to the functioning of the algorithm.
