Stop, you are finished If you are handed this list and carefully follow its instructions in the order specified, when you reach the end you will have solved the task at hand. All the operations used to construct algorithms belong to one of only three categories: 1. Sequential operations A sequential instruction carries out a single well-defined task. 2 The Definition of Computer Science 5 to the next operation. Sequential operations are usually expressed as simple declarative sentences. • Add 1 cup of butter to the mixture in the bowl.
Something had to be done. Hollerith designed and built programmable card-processing machines that could automatically read, tally, and sort data entered on punched cards. Census data were coded onto cards using a machine called a keypunch. The cards were taken either to a tabulator for counting and tallying or to a sorter for ordering alphabetically or numerically. Both of these machines were programmable (via wires and plugs) so that the user could specify such things as which card columns should be tallied and in what order the cards should be sorted.
Note that we use the word result rather than answer. Sometimes it is not possible for an algorithm to produce the correct answer because for a given set of input, a correct answer does not exist. In those cases the algorithm may produce something else, such as an error message, a red warning light, or an approximation to the correct answer. Error messages, lights, and approximations, though not necessarily what we wanted, are all observable results. . and halts in a finite amount of time. Another important characteristic of algorithms is that the result must be produced after the execution of a finite number of operations, and we must guarantee that the algorithm eventually reaches a statement that says, “Stop, you are done” or something equivalent.
