Find the definition of the world 'algorithm'.
An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or set of instructions for solving a specific problem or accomplishing a certain task. It is a finite sequence of well-defined, computer-implementable instructions, typically to solve a class of problems or to perform a computation. Algorithms can be expressed in various ways, including natural language, flowcharts, or computer programming languages.
