What is an algorithm?
 Algorithm
You need a process to solve a problem. The following
steps will help you to solve any computer problem:
1. Summaries the problem and abstract the main requirements
to solve the problem.
2. Represent the algorithm by using any representation
techniques.
3. Convert the algorithm into a programming code and check
whether the algorithm works well. You could use a
programming
language such as Python.

You follow an algorithm when you try to cross the road.
1. Find the safest place to cross (Zebra crossing) then stop.
2. STOP. Stand on the pavement little way back from the
edge.
3. WATCH AND LISTEN. Look for traffic in all directions and
listen.

Write down the steps you need to follow to make a cup of coffee.

1.Heat up a cup of water.

2.Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of instant coffee to a mug.
3.Dissolve the coffee with a tablespoon of cold water.
4.Pour the hot water into the mug.
5.Mix in sugar or spices, if desired.
6.Add milk or cream if you're not a fan of black coffee.
7.Stir your coffee and serve it.
