What does the time efficiency of an algorithm depend on?
What does the time efficiency of an algorithm depend on?
- Amount of memory required, amount of time required to accomplish the task
- Size of input, speed of machine, quality of source code, quality of compiler (correct)
- Space utilization, computing time for input size
- Number of times instructions executed, complexity of the algorithm
How is time efficiency expressed in terms of computing time?
How is time efficiency expressed in terms of computing time?
- $T(n)$ = amount of memory required
- $T(n)$ = number of times the instructions executed (correct)
- $T(n)$ = space utilization
- $T(n)$ = amount of time required to accomplish the task
In terms of time efficiency, why is space efficiency still important in embedded computers or sensor nodes?
In terms of time efficiency, why is space efficiency still important in embedded computers or sensor nodes?
- Space efficiency directly impacts the quality of source code
- Space efficiency is important due to limited memory in embedded systems (correct)
- Space efficiency affects the speed of the machine
- Space efficiency reduces the complexity of the algorithm
