Best Answer
  1. An algorithm can be a part of a computer program.
  2. An algorithm can be a written paper procedure for a human to read and follow. (e.g. you bought a new device to use on your computer, it comes with a procedure to set it up, connect it, and install drivers.)

Once an algorithm has been developed, no thinking is required just mechanically follow the steps until finished. This makes it ideal for both computers (which understand nothing) and people that may not fully understand all of what they are doing.
