Algorithms in C

Algorithms in the C Language:


An algorithm is a clear and systematic set of instructions for solving a problem. This process runs in a sequence and moves towards a specific goal. Creating an algorithm in the C programming language is a necessary skill because it defines the structure and functionality of the program.

Properties of Algorithms:
Clarity, Finiteness, Input and Output, Effectiveness, and Generality.

Constructing Algorithms in C:
The steps include identifying the problem, defining input and output, writing the procedure, and then coding it in C.

Examples of Algorithms in C:
The document provides three examples:
  1. An algorithm and C code to calculate the sum of two numbers.
  2. An algorithm and C code to find the maximum value in an array of numbers.
  3. An algorithm and C code to calculate the factorial of a number.
