DAA MCQ
Algorithm
The algorithm is a step-by-step process to solve any problem and is a sequence of instructions that act on some input data to produce some output in a finite number of steps. The algorithm is independent of any programming language.
Why analysis of algorithms?
- For a given problem, there are many ways to design algorithms for it
- Analysis of algorithms to determine which algorithm should be chosen to solve the problem.
The complexity of algorithm on performance analysis of algorithm:
- Time complexity: time complexity of an algorithm is the total time required by the program to run till its completion
- Space complexity: Space complexity is the total space required by an algorithm to run till its completion.
Time and space complexity depends on lots of things like hardware, OS, processes, etc.
The analysis is of two types:
- Posteriori analysis: In Posteriori analysis, Algorithm is implemented and executed on certain fixed hardware and software. Then the algorithm is selected which takes the least amount of time to execute. Hence, the time used is given in time units like ms, ns, etc.
- Priori analysis: In Priori analysis, The time of the algorithm is found prior to implementation. Here time is not in terms of any such time units. Instead, it represents the number of operations that are carried out while executing the algorithm.
Asymptotic notations:
- Asymptotic notations are used to represent the complexity of an algorithm
- With the help of asymptotic notations, we can analyze the time performance of the algorithm.
There are three types of asymptotic notations:
- Theta notation
- Omega notation
- Big Oh Notation
