• It is a step-wise representation of a solution to a given problem, which makes it easy to understand.
• An algorithm uses a definite procedure.
• It is not dependent on any programming language, so it is easy to understand for anyone even without programming knowledge.
• Every step in an algorithm has its own logical sequence so it is easy to debug.
In the problem-solving phase of computer programming, you will be designing algorithms. This means that you will have to be conscious of the strategies you use to solve problems in order to apply them to programming problems. These algorithms can be designed though the use of pseudocodes and flowcharts.
