Questions and Answers

What is an algorithm according to the given definition?

  • A formula for solving a problem with a clear stopping point
  • A set of rules for solving a particular problem with ambiguous steps
  • A sequence of activities to be processed or getting desired output from a given input (correct)
  • A sequence of unambiguous steps with no clear stopping point
  • What is the significance of finiteness in an algorithm?

  • It means the algorithm has a clear stopping point
  • It means the algorithm takes an infinite number of steps
  • It means the algorithm has ambiguous steps
  • It means the algorithm takes a finite number of steps (correct)
  • What is the purpose of definiteness in an algorithm?

  • To make each step of the algorithm precisely defined (correct)
  • To make the algorithm more time-consuming
  • To make the algorithm ambiguous
  • To make the algorithm more complex
