Write a detailed algorithm for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich(or some other everyday activity). You should assume that you are talkingto someone who is conceptually able to do the task, but has never actuallydone it before. For example, you might be telling a young child.
Check My Work Here is an algorithm for calling a friend on the telephone: Step Operation 1. Dial the phone and wait for either an answer or a busy signal 2. If the line is not busy then do Steps 3 and 4 3. Talk as long as you want 4. Hang up the phone, you are done 5. Otherwise (the line is busy) 6. Wait exactly 1 minute 7. Go back to Step 1 and try again During execution, this algorithm could get into a situation in which, as in the deadlock problem, no useful work can ever get done. Describe the problem, explain why it occurs, and suggest how it could be solved.
