I don’t really know what algorithm means. I have a basic understanding of the concept, but technological concepts are anathema to my neurodivergent brain. So just to make sure I wasn’t way off track on this, I looked up the definition. According to Wikipedia:

“In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is a finite sequence of rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.”

Ok, so my eyes glazed over a little reading that, but it confirms my understanding. Hold that thought - let’s come back to that definition.
