1 Week 1-Writing Algorithms.

Programming algorithm as a recipe that describes the exact steps needed for the computer to
solve a problem or reach a goal. We've all seen food recipes - they list the ingredients needed
and a set of steps for how to make the described meal.
Well, an algorithm is just like that. In computer lingo, the word for a recipe is a procedure,
and the ingredients are called inputs. Your computer looks at your procedure, follows it to
the letter, and you get to see the results, which are called outputs.
A programming algorithm describes how to do something, and your computer will do it
exactly that way every time. Well, it will once you convert your algorithm into a language it
understands!
Example
Write an algorithm to compute the area of a rectangle
Start
Input length, width
Compute area(area=length*width)
Print results
End
