algorithm (plural algorithms)

1. A precise step-by-step plan for a computational procedure that begins with an input value and yields an output value in a finite number of steps.
   • 1990, Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest, Introduction to Algorithms: page 1. Cambridge, MA, The MIT Press, 1999 (23rd printing)

     Informally, an algorithm is any well-defined computational procedure that takes some value, or set of values, as input and produces some value, or set of values, as output. An algorithm is thus a sequence of computational steps that transform the input into the output.

	algoritmo
	well-defined procedure
	Any well-defined procedure describing how to carry out a particular task.
	A rule or procedure for solving a problem.
