What is an Algorithm | Introduction to Algorithms

An algorithm is a set of finite rules or instructions to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations.
It can also be defined as a procedure for solving a mathematical problem in a finite number of steps that frequently involves recursive operations.

Why Are Algorithms Important?

• Help solve complex problems efficiently
• Make programs faster and more optimized
• Allow better use of memory and processing power
• Provide a foundation for technical interviews and coding challenges.
