Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between input size and execution time.
Question 2.
What does O notation represent?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the scenario where you want to know the worst-case execution time.
3Question 3.
What does time complexity measure?
- Memory usage
- Execution time based on input size
- User satisfaction
Show hintHide hint
Remember, this is related to how fast an algorithm runs.
4Question 4.
True or False: Space complexity measures time efficiency.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what space versus time means.
Question 5.
Imagine you have to organize a national election database containing millions of records. Which sorting algorithm would you choose based on time complexity, and why?
Show hintHide hint
Relate the number of records to the efficiency you need.
Question 6.
