Questions and Answers

What does algorithm analysis in computer science primarily involve?

  • Determining the computational complexity of algorithms (correct)
  • Writing algorithms for computational problems
  • Measuring the speed of algorithm execution
  • Testing algorithms for efficiency
  • When is an algorithm considered efficient?

  • When its function's values are small or grow slowly compared to input size (correct)
  • When it can handle any input size without performance change
  • When it executes in the shortest time possible
  • When it uses the least amount of storage
  • What is the function describing the performance of an algorithm usually based on?

  • Worst case inputs to the algorithm (correct)
  • Best case inputs to the algorithm
  • Average case inputs to the algorithm
  • Random inputs to the algorithm
  • Why might best, worst, and average case descriptions of an algorithm be of practical interest?
