Algorithms:

An algorithm is a series of finite steps carried out in a sequence for solving a problem. In other words, an algorithm defines a series of steps that leads to some desired result. Unlike flowcharts which don’t give many details about the series of steps involved in a program solving, algorithm provides the details of the steps involved in a program.

Some points that should be keep in mind while using algorithms as a tool for program planning:

1. An algorithm should be simple, enough to understood by people.
2. A good algorithm development is essential for designing an effective program.
3. The various construction constitute the algorithm should be precise and should not repeat.

Step 1: Input the values of X and Y. 

Step 2: Calculate Sum, X+Y.
Step 3: Print the Result.
Step 4: Exit.
