Questions and Answers

What is an essential characteristic of an algorithm?

  • Finite time and space complexity (correct)
  • Dependence on a specific programming language
  • Slow processing time
  • High memory consumption

What is a key consideration in algorithm design?

  • Minimizing memory usage only
  • Using a specific programming language
  • Optimizing time consumption and memory usage simultaneously (correct)
  • Maximizing processing time

Why is it challenging to optimize both time and memory efficiency simultaneously?

  • Because of the complexity of the problem
  • Because they are inversely proportional (correct)
  • Because of the limitations of programming languages
  • Because they are unrelated concepts
