Algorithm: An Introduction

          Algorithm is step procedure  for calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning.[^].
          Arabic mathematician Al Khwarizmi is considered to be first algorithm designer. Also the word algorithm derived from Arabic word "Algorism".


          The algorithm should follow these properties.

  • Finiteness: Algorithm must have finite number of steps and terminate after these steps.
  • Effectiveness: Algorithm must be effective to solve the problem in a simple way.
  • Definiteness: The steps must be defined clearly and may not be ambiguous.
  • I/O: An algorithm should have inputs and outputs that will generate intermediate and final results.
        This is an introduction for "ALGORITHM". There are many things to say about algorithms.
