Analysis of Algorithms - Module 1 Quiz

To describe the rate of growth of a function as the input size approaches infinity.

The Random Access Machine (RAM) model simplifies the analysis of algorithms by assuming that each basic operation takes a constant amount of time.

Best-case analysis evaluates the minimum time or space required by an algorithm for a specific input.
