They don’t know what an algorithm is. An algorithm is the statement, in logical terms, of the steps required to solve a problem. It is independent of any specific programming language.

It is not a program. A program is executable code that can run on a computer. The program is the realization, in a specific programming language, of the concepts found in the algorithm.

Yeah, like...

1. Figure out which companies are going to be hurt by the legislation your committee is working on.
2. Find out what date the legislation will be made public.
3. Tell your son to buy puts for the company's stock, to be covered a few days after that date.
4. Remind him where to sent the thank-you note. Don't forget the routing number.
5. Repeat for decades.
