What are the four characteristics of algorithms?..

Answer / Khushboo Srivastava

The four main characteristics of algorithms are correctness, efficiency, clarity, and generality. Correctness refers to whether the algorithm produces the expected results given a specific input. Efficiency is concerned with the amount of resources (such as time or space) an algorithm consumes in solving a problem. Clarity means that the algorithm should be easy to understand, debug, and maintain. Generality implies that the algorithm can solve multiple problems or variations of a single problem.
