- An algorithm is a set of rules used to perform a particular operation especially by a computer.
- These are logical structures and are used as an abstract which defines the work done. They have physical significance.
- Every algorithm should have three features:
- The algorithm should be finite in structure.
- The algorithm should have precisely defined instruction.
- The algorithm should be effective as per the customer requirement.
- Algorithm development engineers are employed. They analyze the requirement of a customer and then frame the requirement with other competency departments like testing, analyst departments.
- Algorithms give the programmer an efficient and reliable code that can be implemented in a short span of time...

The following question are intended as a guide to the ethical/social/legal issues associated with the field of computing. The goal is not merely to answer these question. You should also consider why you answered as you did and whether your justifications are consistent from one question to the next.
In the context of interactive television, to what extent should a company be allowed to retrieve information from children (perhaps via an interactive game format)? For example, should a company be allowed to obtain a child's report on his or her parents' buying patterns? What about information about the child?
The questions that follow are meant to serve as a roadmap to the
ethical, societal, and legal problems that arise in the area of computing. The aim isn't only to find answers to these questions. Evaluate why you responded the way you did and if your justifications are clear from question to question.
Is it appropriate for a person to design his or her own applications without considering the risk of truncation errors and their
consequences?
Do you believe that this method may be successful in explaining computer science?After that, it is only natural that we would investigate each and every component that goes into the creation of a computer.
