Line 1: {{catdiffuse}} [[Category:Computer science]]▼ {{commonscat}} {{Category main\|Algorithm}} [[Category:Algorithms and data structures]] An '''algorithm''', broadly defined, is an understandable and finite set of instructions for accomplishing some task which, given a defined set of inputs, will result in some recognisable end-state (contrast with [[heuristic]]). Algorithms often have steps that repeat ([[iteration\|iterate]]) or require decisions (such as [[Boolean logic\|logic]] or [[inequality\|comparison]]) until the task is completed.
