What are the properties of an algorithm?

Answer Posted / Shobhit Johri

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve a problem. It has the following properties: 1) Input - The data or initial state that defines the problem, 2) Output - The final result or solution, 3) Definiteness - Each step must be well-defined and unambiguous, 4) Finiteness - The algorithm must terminate after a finite number of steps, 5) Reliability - If the algorithm follows its defined steps without error, it will always produce the same output for a given input, 6) Uniqueness - Every algorithm has one unique solution path.
