TED-ED: What's an algorithm? - David J. Malan

The video tutorial introduces algorithms, explaining them as step-by-step instructions for solving problems. It uses a simple example of counting people in a room to illustrate the concept. The tutorial then explains how to express this process in pseudocode, highlighting the importance of variables and loops. It discusses optimizing the algorithm by counting in pairs and addresses edge cases, such as when the number of people is odd. The video concludes by reflecting on the nature of algorithms and their role in problem-solving.
