Study Notes
Algorithm Evaluation Criteria
- Efficiency is the most important criteria in writing and evaluating an algorithm, as it determines the performance and scalability of the program.
Computer Program Basics
- The statement is the basic building block of computer programs, as it is the smallest unit of instruction that can be executed.
Subroutines
- Functions are what subroutines are called in programming languages, as they are self-contained blocks of code that perform a specific task.
Control Structures
- Loops are used to finish a task when a bulk of statements needs to be repeated for many numbers of times, allowing for efficient execution of repetitive tasks.
