| completely determined finite sequence of instructions by which the values of the output variables may be calculated from the values of the input variables Note 1 to entry: The behaviour of a system with discrete-value input and output variables (for example a switching system) may be described completely by an algorithm. For a system with continuous-value and continuous-time input and output variables the algorithm is given by or derived from the mathematical relationship between the input and output variables. Note 2 to entry: This entry was numbered 351-21-37 in IEC 60050-351:2006.
