Algorithms

In a flowchart, an algorithm is represented using geometric shapes and a brief description of the action associated with each shape.

The following algorithm is being represented by:

1. Open the refrigerator;
2. Take the milk;
3. Put 200ml of the milk in a glass;
4. Drink the milk;
5. Keep the milk in the fridge;
6. Close the fridge;
7. Wash the glass used.

An algorithm is a finite sequence of simple steps to solve a given problem.

A computer program is basically an algorithm being run by the computer.

Which option does not represent a common feature of an algorithm?
