    Study Notes

    Criteria for Algorithm Analysis

    • Criteria typically include correctness, efficiency, and simplicity among others.
    • A point that is NOT considered part of these criteria would be originality, as it doesn’t impact algorithm performance directly.

    Execution Time of an Algorithm

    • Execution time can be affected by multiple factors including the size of the input data.
    • Generally, more complex algorithms tend to exhibit longer execution times.

    T(n) in Algorithm Analysis

    • T(n) denotes the time complexity of an algorithm as a function of the input size n.
    • It helps in understanding how the execution time scales with different input sizes.

    Contradictory Aspects in Algorithm Analysis

    • An aspect considered contradictory might involve an algorithm being both efficient and easy to implement, yet exhibiting poor performance with large datasets.
    • Efficiency might sometimes conflict with ease of understanding or implementation.

    Efficiency Factors of an Algorithm

    • The efficiency of an algorithm often depends on the algorithm’s complexity, which can be described through Big O notation.
    • Other factors include hardware capabilities, programming language, and implementation skills.
