An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for performing a specific task, characterized by clarity, finite steps, and well-defined inputs and outputs. Algorithms can be classified into simple, conditional, and iterative types, and can be represented using pseudocode or flowcharts for better understanding. Additionally, programming languages are categorized into generations based on their abstraction level, with C being a prominent procedural language that supports modularity and is widely used despite the emergence of newer languages.
