what is algorithm ?

An algorithm is a step by step process that we use to perform a certain task . Algorithm is a step-by-step procedure, which defines a set of instructions to be executed in a certain order to get the desired output. Algorithms are generally created independent of underlying languages, i.e. an algorithm can be implemented in more than one programming language. For example if we have to cook Maggie

1. we have to boil water 2 put Maggie and boil Maggie . 3 put masala and mix. 4 your task is complete This is a general concept used in competitive coding.
