IN YOUR OWN WORDS Define what an algorithm is in computer info systems. Then create an algorithm that tells a user how to boil and eat x number of eggs. This should be in enough detail that one could follow it step by step and be successful. (Don’t forget your assumptions.)

Solution

Defination :- An Algorithm is a step by step sequence of actions designed to perform an operation or to solve a perticular problem.Algorithms have a definite beginning and a definite end, and a finite number of steps.An algorithm produces the same output information every time the same input information is given.several short algorithms can be combined to perform complex tasks such as writing a computer program.

Assumption :-
1.you have x eggs and the proper utenciles and all related stuffs like water,heat etc.
Algorithm:-
1)start
2)Place X eggs in saucepan large enough to hold them in single layer.
3) Add cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch.
4) Heat over high heat just to boiling
5)Remove from burner. Cover pan.
6) Let eggs stand in hot water about 12 minutes for large eggs (9 minutes for medium eggs; 15 minutes for extra large).
7)Drain immediately and cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water.
8)remove the shell of the eggs.
9)cut the eggs and you are serve .
10)you are ready to eat.
11)end
