An algorithm is a set of steps for completing a task or solving a problem. You can write algorithms in code for computers to follow. Those algorithms are called computer programs. Other algorithms are meant for people to follow. Some examples are a recipe for baking apple pie, instructions for playing Go Fish and directions for walking home from school. In math class, you might learn or write algorithms to solve similar problems, like finding the sum of two integers.

According to the passage, what is the relationship between an algorithm and a computer program?


A
An algorithm is the opposite of a computer program.
B
Every algorithm is also a computer program.
C
A computer program is an example of an algorithm.
D
An algorithm is the language in which a computer program is written.
