Discovering Algorithm

What is an algorithm?

• A type of computer

• A list of steps to solve a problem or complete a task

• A mathematical formula

• A programming language

Which of the following is an example of an algorithm in everyday life?

• A storybook

• A recipe for baking a cake

• A music album

• A painting

Algorithms are used in which of the following technologies?

• Video games

• GPS navigation systems

• Social media platforms

• All of the above

In machine learning, what is the purpose of an algorithm?

• To create new data

• To learn from data and make decisions or predictions

• To draw pictures

• To write stories

What does it mean if an algorithm is 'efficient'?

• It works very slowly

• It uses a lot of resources

• It solves a problem with minimum resources in less time

• It looks nice

What role do algorithms play in video games?

• They create the game's graphics

• They write the game's story

• They control the game's logic and responses to player actions

• They market the game to players

Why is the order of steps important in an algorithm?

• It makes the algorithm look better

• The order does not matter in algorithms

• It ensures the algorithm works correctly and efficiently

• It makes the algorithm easier to remember

What is 'coding'?

• Drawing pictures for computers

• Writing instructions (algorithms) for computers to follow

• Talking to computers

• Reading books about computers

How are algorithms beneficial in the field of artificial intelligence?

• They are not used in artificial intelligence

• They help in decision-making and problem-solving

• They are only used for drawing pictures

• They are used for writing stories

How do algorithms contribute to the development of self-driving cars?

• They compose songs for the car radio

• They control the car's navigation and decision-making processes

• They paint the exterior of the car

• They write novels about cars
