How is "one step" worked out?

With both feet together I step forwards with my right leg.

Is this classed as one step? Or do I need to follow thru with my left leg to bring both feet together?

Just trying to work out someones walking speed/steps.

I did 104 'steps' in 1minute 20.

    One step is the step you take with one leg followed by the other leg.
    A step followed by bringing both feet together before taking another step is step and pause.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    Exactly what you are trying to work out would be helpful.
    'steps' are not used as such in either.
    DLA comes closest - with the definition of what walking is - but how many steps you can do from this perspective doesn't matter.

    PIP for example - if you take over twice the normal time to walk a distance - you qualify.
    It doesn't matter how far you can walk.
