Algorithm

ALGORITHM

• An algorithm is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task. 
• This can be a simple process, such as multiplying two numbers, or a complex operation, such as playing a compressed video file.Search engines use proprietary algorithms to display the most relevant results from their search index for specific queries.
• In computer programming, algorithms are often created as functions. These functions serve as small programs that can be referenced by a larger program.
•  For example, an image viewing application may include a library of functions that each use a custom algorithm to render different image file formats. An image editing program may contain algorithms designed to process image data.
•  Examples of image processing algorithms include cropping, resizing, sharpening, blurring, red-eye reduction, and color enhancement.
