Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem that is likely to be successful. It is a more formalized and precise version of a rule of thumb. Schemas are mental frameworks for organizing information, mental operants are cognitive processes that manipulate information, and categorization processes involve grouping items based on similarities. None of these options accurately describe a formula for solving problems like algorithms do.
