A computer algorithm is any set of instructions that a computer could use to produce a result. An example would be "given a numeric input, multiply that value by 9, divide the result by 5, then add 32." This is how a Celsius temperature is converted into Fahrenheit.

∙ 11y agoWHAT'S AN ALGORITHM? SHORT ANSWER
An algorithm is just a 'plain text english' statement way of writing out a program; without having to resort to using any 'specific programming language code'. For example,...
====
CONCLUSION
As you can see from the above examples which use 'different' programming languages to solve the same task with, namely:
-> QBASIC
-> VBScript
-> Javascript
-> Python
-> etc.
...once you've already gone and created the plain text english language based 'algorithm' to solve a particular problem; then, that 'one' same algorithm, can be readily re-used, over again and again...in conjunction with almost 'any' programming language code...to solve what are, in fact, similar problems.

What is sub-algorithm?
It is an algorithm used by another algorithm as part of the second algorithm's operation.As an example, an algorithm for finding the median value in a list of numbers might include sorting the numbers as a sub-algorithm: There are plenty of algorithms for sorting, and the specifics of the sorting does not matter to the "median value" algorithm, only that the numbers are sorted when the sub-algorithm is done.For what an algorithm is, see related link.
What is krushkal algorithm?
Kruskal's algorithm is an algorithm in graph theory that finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted graph. This means it finds a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every vertex, where the total weight of all the edges in the tree is minimized. If the graph is not connected, then it finds a minimum spanning forest (a minimum spanning tree for each connected component). Kruskal's algorithm is an example of a greedy algorithm.
What is scatter gather algorithm?
It is a class of algorithms that are fine-tuned towards making the best out of a distributed computing ( similar to cloud computing ) environment. A very good example of such an algorithm is MapReduce (see wikipedia).
What is the example of finiteness in algorithm?
I've never heard the term "finiteness" applied to an algorithm, but I think that's because the definition of an algorithm includes that it must be finite. So think of any algorithm and there is your example of finiteness.

What is an algorithn?
If you mean "Algorithm" an algorithm is simply a set of rules, or steps to complete, which are needed to solve a particular problem. An example would be a recipe in a cookbook. A recipe is an algorithm.

How do you write algorith of C programs?
There is no specific Hard and Fast rule for writing algorithm. The normal method is the following: 1. get a problem 2. find or invent an algorithm to solve it 3. implement the algorithm in a programming language (C, for example)

Are algorithms limited to computing applications?
An algorithm is any procedure composed of fundamental steps, in a clearly defined order, that is guaranteed to halt. It need not be done on a computer, or be related to computation. For example, baking a cake using a recipe is an algorithm. Playing Snakes-and-Ladders is an algorithm. Backing a car out of a driveway can be done by following an algorithm.
Design an algorithm to find a reverse of number?
An example of an algorithm that will reverse a number is written as such, digit reverse(num), while (num>0) then, digit =num%10. This particular algorithm divides a number by 10 until the original number from the LSD is found.
