What's the difference between algorithm and correctness?

Algorithm


Definition:

  • (n.) The art of calculating by nine figures and zero.
  • (n.) The art of calculating with any species of notation; as, the algorithms of fractions, proportions, surds, etc.

Correctness


Definition:

  • (n.) The state or quality of being correct; as, the correctness of opinions or of manners; correctness of taste; correctness in writing or speaking; the correctness of a text or copy.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Standardization is possible after correction by the protein content of each individual section.
