15 Questions
What is an efficient algorithm?
An algorithm that occupies less space and requires the minimum amount of time to complete its execution
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
What is the implication if an algorithm is less efficient?
It leads to slower execution
What happens when an algorithm is more efficient in terms of space usage?
It requires less time for execution
What is the outcome of a less efficient algorithm with regards to space usage?
Slower execution
Which type of sorting is used when the data is too large to fit into the main memory at a time?
External sorting
Which type of sorting is used when all data is placed in the main memory?
Internal sorting
Which of the following algorithms is NOT suitable for large data sets due to its high time complexity?
