Questions and Answers

What is an efficient algorithm?

  • An algorithm that occupies more space and requires the maximum amount of time to complete its execution
  • An algorithm that occupies less space and requires the minimum amount of time to complete its execution (correct)
  • An algorithm that has no impact on space and time during execution
  • An algorithm that is unnecessary and does not execute

What is the criterion for an algorithm to be deemed efficient?

  • It should occupy less space and require the minimum amount of time for execution (correct)
  • It has to use the least efficient data structures
  • It does not need to consider space and time complexity
  • It must occupy the most space and require the maximum amount of time for execution

What is the implication if an algorithm is less efficient?

  • It has no impact on execution speed
  • It leads to slower execution (correct)
  • It makes no difference in memory usage
  • It results in faster execution
