Output Specification

• The “output” is the result of the computation -- its description often forms the name of the algorithm

• The “output” must be specified in a format that the “computer” can express (e.g., on a screen, audio)

• The features specified are the same as for input:

  • The types of data forming the result
  • The number of data items forming the result (or how the computer will know it has reported all of the data)
  • The structure of the result
