Wording

Algorithm vs Expression vs Logic

Algorithm: Abstract step-by-step procedure for computation (imperative).
Expression: Compositional structure evaluated under arbitrary semantics (declarative).
Logic: Reasoning about validity of arguments (deductive or inductive).

Prefer "algorithm" for imperative code, "expression" for declarative code, and "logic" only for truth-valued reasoning.
