Question 5 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701

Which of the following explains why giving directions to a location is suitable for creating an algorithm?

Answer
A
An algorithm provides step-by-step instructions.
B
An algorithm is written in computer code.
C
An algorithm gives different steps each time it is used.
D
An algorithm posts directions on a website.

Explanation

Giving directions involves listing steps in order so someone can reach a destination. An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions for completing a task, so “An algorithm provides step-by-step instructions” is the best explanation. It does not have to be written in computer code, and its steps should not change arbitrarily each time it is used.
