5 Questions
What is the analysis of algorithms in computer science primarily concerned with?
Determining the computational complexity of algorithms
What does an efficient algorithm's function values indicate?
The function's values are small or grow slowly compared to the input size
What does the term 'worst case' refer to in algorithm analysis?
The performance determined from the most unfavorable inputs to the algorithm
Why might best, worst, and average case descriptions all be of practical interest in algorithm analysis?
Different inputs of the same size may cause the algorithm to have different behavior
