Glossary Term
Glossary Term Algorithm
Definition A detailed sequence of actions to perform to accomplish some task. Technically, an algorithm must reach a result after a finite number of steps, thus ruling out brute force search methods for certain problems, though some might claim that brute force search was also a valid (generic) algorithm. The term is also used loosely for any sequence of actions (which may or may not terminate).
