What is an Algorithm?

An algorithm is a step-by-step process for solving a problem. In Python, we use algorithms to manipulate data, search for information, and automate tasks efficiently.

main.py
# A simple algorithm to find parity
def is_even(n):
    return n % 2 == 0
An

algorithm is like a GPS route. It's a precise set of turn-by-turn instructions that takes you from where you are (the input) to where you want to be (the result).
