Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of decision-making algorithms such as the minimax algorithm in game playing?

  • To employ tree structures to explore different possible moves and outcomes (correct)
  • To create hierarchical relationships between employees or departments
  • To implement associative arrays, allowing variables to be accessed by their names in constant time
  • To aid in logistics optimization by representing locations and transportation routes

In which real-world application are hash-based data structures commonly used?

  • Fraud detection algorithms
  • Spell checkers and autocomplete systems (correct)
  • Representing hierarchical relationships between employees or departments
  • Logistics optimization for finding efficient delivery routes

What is the main characteristic of primitive data structures?

  • They consist of numbers and characters that cannot be divided (correct)
  • They are used for logistics optimization and recommendation systems
  • They represent relationships between data elements
  • They are derived from primitive data
