Programming is the process of creating a set of instructions that tells the computer how to build a program or solve a problem by writing computer code Programming is one of the basic subjects of the IT major Programming can be used in a variety of computer

programming languages, such as JavaScript, Python, and C++

A Programming Language is a formal language between human and computer, comprising

a set of strings that produce various kinds of machine code output Programming

Languages are two formal languages that consist of a set of instructions that produce

various types of output Programming Languages are used in the computer in the form of

an algorithm

Nowadays, programming languages are very important to the advancement of information technology It always changes and grows quickly every day, every year Don't ask why there are so many humanoid robots, artificial intelligence, or new products in the IT

industry All these miracles are possible because of the programming languages

Programming is beneficial to human life and greatly affects human life today

Technological products, programming help life to be simple and easy Such as, at home, they can help you do the housework, Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop Essential cleaning the house, Dishwasher from Hafele or Bosch washing the dish or bowl, cup, In business, robots can help you get the best products to sell to customers and bring in the highest profits

Summarily, we have to know and understand the importance of programming for human life It gradually appears in all aspects of human life Wherever you go, you need

programming, technology products Because they help us have more free time for other interests and do everything faster Like in the Covid 19 Pandemic, if we don’t have

programming, technological products, we couldn’t work or study online They bring lots of benefits to human life

Algorithm

A) What is the algorithm, the example

An algorithm is a set of mathematical instructions or rules that, especially it is used in the computer to calculate an answer to solve the problem An algorithm is a list of instructions for solving a problem An algorithm can be implemented in more than one or two

programming language

Example: Calculate the volume of the rectangular box

Figure 01: Example Flowchart of An Algorithm

Example: Write the function to Calculate the volume of the

rectangular box For L = 62, W = 24, H = 27, the output volume V = L*W*H = 62*24*27 = 40176

B) Characteristics of an algorithm

There are 6 Characteristics of an algorithm

- Input Specified: The input is the data to be transformed during the computation to

produce the output An algorithm should have many inputs, 1 or more inputs or no inputs at all, how much and what form the data should be

- Output Specified: The output is the data resulting from the computation An

algorithm may have 0 or many defined outputs and must match the desired output

- Definiteness: This means specifying the sequence of operations for turning an input

into output It should contain everything quantitative and not quantitative

- Effectiveness: For an algorithm to be effective, it means that all those steps that are

required to get to output must be feasible with the available resources

- Finiteness: Everything in the world has its limit, so does the algorithm The

algorithm must stop within a certain limit Stopping may mean that you get the expected output or you get a response that no solution is possible An algorithm should not be infinite and always terminate after a definite number of steps There is

no point in developing an algorithm that is infinite as it will be useless for us

My Problem: Write the program to adjust the price of the cars in the Mercedes Benz cars

company By the best-selling cars ( more than 2000 cars ) will increase the price by 50% The next best-selling cars ( from 100 cars to 2000 cars ) will increase in price by 30%, 20%, and 10% respectively Slow-selling cars ( from more than 10 cars to 100 cars ) will

be discounted from 10% to 30%, especially the slowest-selling cars ( least than 10 cars ) must be discounted by 50% and accompanied by special incentives for customers

To solve that problem we need 4 steps:

1 Step 1: Check the number of sales of each car model

2 Step 2: Input the name of each car model and the number of sales of each car

3 Step 3: Compare with the topic conditions

4 Step 4: Out new price of each car model

Figure 2: Example steps adjust the price of car in Mercedes Benz Cars company

Conclusion

I solved my minor problem with the algorithm in 4 steps Nowadays, algorithms are closely linked with modern technology, they can help us to solve lots of problems quickly from small to big If algorithms and technology are used more in life, economy, and business, the country will reach the peak of technology globalization I hope everyone can use and apply algorithms and technology in all fields to create more quality products Our country will develop stronger and stand shoulder to shoulder with the great powers
