Yes it seems, as programmers, we don't credit ourselves as having written many algorithms, but if you break it down, much of the functionality of a program is some or other algorithm, most functions exactly fit the description above.

It seems like there is a force which wants to make everyone believe that algorithms have to be very fancy and efficient to be called like that.
Or very complex/difficult to solve. I have never found myself calling something an "algorithm" when I was able to just type it out real quickly into a function and it works on the first run, even if it's still technically an algorithm.
