Why is this not an algorithm?

  1. The description is ambiguous.
  2. The description contains steps that cannot be executed.
  3. The procedure does not always terminate.
The description is unambigous and executable, so the answer must be that the procedure does not always terminate. Watch the answer video for an example.
