Question 1.
What is an Exhaustive Search?
Show hintHide hint
Think of it as testing all options.
Question 2.
Describe Greedy Algorithms in one sentence.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on making the local best decision.
3Question 3.
What is the primary downside of Exhaustive Search?
- It finds a suboptimal solution
- It is computationally expensive
- It is simple to implement
Show hintHide hint
Consider the cost of testing every option in large scenarios.
4Question 4.
True or False: Greedy Algorithms always guarantee an optimal solution.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think of local versus global optimum.
Question 5.
Consider a design space where you have three configurations with varying power consumption and performance metrics. Describe how you would apply Pareto Optimality to visualize and analyze the trade-offs.
Show hintHide hint
Use two contrasting objectives to see how they relate!
Question 6.
Imagine an algorithm that needs to decide between using an exhaustive search or a greedy algorithm for a particular problem. What factors should influence this decision and why?
Show hintHide hint
Think about trade-offs of time against quality.
