What is an Algorithm?
Algorithms are a set of specific instructions that provide instructions on how to slove a problem or perform a task.
Computer Programming
A method to translate algorithms into a language that the computer can understand.
Data Structures
They are collection of data together with a group of operations that manipulate that data in predefined ways.
