What is an Algorithm?
 A process or a set of rules to be followed to achieve desired output, especially by a computer.

 An algorithm is any well-defined computational procedure that takes some value, or a set
of values as input and produces some value, or a set of values as output.

Characteristics of An Algorithm
 Finiteness: An algorithm must always terminate after a finite number of steps.
 Definiteness: Each step of an algorithm must be precisely defined.
 Input: An algorithm has zero or more inputs.
 Output: An algorithm must have at least one desirable output.
 Effectiveness: All the operations to be performed in the algorithm must be sufficiently basic
so that they can, in principle be done exactly and in a finite length of time.

an infinite set.

 Sequences: A sequence of objects is a list of objects in some order.
 Example: the sequence 7, 21, 57 would be written as (7, 21, 57)
 In a set the order does not matter but in a sequence it does.
 Repetition is not permitted in a set but repetition is permitted in a sequence. So, (7, 7, 21, 57)
is different from (7, 21, 57).
 Tuples: Finite sequences are called tuples.
 Examples:
1. (7, 21) 2-tuple or pair
2. (7, 21, 57) 3-tuple

 If the relation satisfies all three properties reflexive, symmetric and transitive then it is
called an Equivalence Relation.
 Equality ‘=’ relation is the equivalence relation because equality proves the required
conditions.

Functions
 Relationship between two sets of numbers is known as a function.
 Function is the special kind of relation in which there is only one output for each input.
 A number in one set is mapped to number in another set by the function.
 Example: this tree growscm every year, so the height of the tree is related to its age using the
function :

So, if the age is years,

then height is cm
 is like saying 10 is related to 200.
 Here, age is called Domain and height is called Codomain.
