Study Notes
Problem-Solving and Algorithm Basics
- The ideation or brainstorming step in problem-solving involves generating multiple possible solutions.
Algorithm Properties
- The purpose of an algorithm is to provide a well-defined procedure to solve a specific problem or perform a particular task.
Characteristics of Algorithms
- An algorithm must have the property of definiteness, which ensures that the steps are clearly defined and unambiguous.
- The property of correctness in an algorithm refers to the guarantee that the algorithm produces the correct output for a given input.
- The property of finiteness in an algorithm ensures that it can be executed in a finite amount of time, meaning it will eventually terminate.
