A step-by-step example

Invented in 1958 at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory by Frank Rosenblatt, the Perceptron is a binary classification algorithm that falls within the cluster of Neural Networks algorithms.

More specifically, a Perceptron is a single-layer, feedforward Neural Network whose capability is limited to binary and linear classification…
