AI definitions: Algorithms
/Algorithms - Direct, specific instructions for computers created by a human through coding that tell the computer how to perform a task. Like a cooking recipe, this set of rules has a finite number of steps. More specifically, it is code that follows the algorithmic logic of “if”, “then”, and “else.” An example of an algorithm would be: IF the customer orders size 13 shoes, THEN display the message ‘Sold out, Sasquatch!’; ELSE ask for a color preference.
