Algorithm Introduction Part 2 : Algorithm Characteristics

Connecting with the previous post about What Algorithm is, in this post I will explain the next material about The Algorithm Characteristics. Still the same material on the previous post, this post is based on material which I get during college. Here are the summary,

The algorithm characteristics :
1. Should stop after doing limited number of steps

2. Each step must be defined precisely and unambiguously

3. The algorithm has zero or more input

4. The algorithm has zero or more outputs

5. The algorithm should be effective

How? Have your knowledge slightly increased about the algorithm ? Posts about the algorithm are still incomplete, so please waiting another posts about it. Thanks ...
