An example of an algorithm is a ________.
A) compensatory model
B) linguistic elaboration
C) mathematical formula
D) "nim" game

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or completing a task, and a mathematical formula is a specific type of algorithm that involves mathematical operations. The other choices are not necessarily algorithms - a compensatory model and linguistic elaboration are both vague concepts that could involve different methods, and "nim" game is a specific game rather than a general problem-solving procedure.
