An algorithm is a repetition of steps to achieve a desired result and does not have a fixed way of representing itself because it could make different decisions along the way in different situations. A sorting algorithm is not a formula, for example. Formulas are mathematical or logical expressions that can be evaluated. permalink fedilink source parent
