What is an Algorithm
An algorithm is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task. They would normally be written in pseudocode, because they are designed for human use and understanding so they should never be written in a specific programming language. That would make it a program and not an algorithm.
Part of the analysis and design phase of a project is to specify the algorithms required. The implementation stage of a project will convert the pseudocode into the programming language of choice.
