Steps for writing algorithm
- 1. STEPS FOR WRITING ALGORITHM “An algorithm must be seen to be believed.”- Donald Knuth
- 2. Determine the Input/Output • Have a good idea of what you are aiming to accomplish. • Can be determined by taking note of steps to get there.
- 3. Decide on a starting point • Find a starting point for listing the steps of process.
- 4. Find the ending point • Your algorithm must end at some point otherwise it will be incomplete. • You should know where to end.
- 5. List all the steps • From the starting point with the inputs, list every small required step to achieve the ending point and the output.
- 6. Determine how each step will be accomplished • Think about how each steps can be coded
- 7. Review the algorithm • Evaluate all the processes and make sure that the algroithm accomplishes the correct output.
