Quick comprehension check
“An algorithm takes a person's age as input. If the age is 18 or older, the algorithm prints "Adult". Otherwise, it prints "Minor". What are the input, process, and output of this algorithm? An algorithm takes two numbers as input. It adds the two numbers together. Then, it multiplies the sum by 2. Finally, it displays the result. What are the input, process, and output of this algorithm? An algorithm takes a temperature in Celsius as input. It multiplies the temperature by 9/5. Then, it adds 32 to the result. Finally, it displays the temperature in Fahrenheit. What are the input, process, and output of this algorithm?”
