B

An input that results in the shortest execution time is called the _____________. A. best-case input B. worst-case input C. average-case input

A

For a sorted list of 1024 elements, a binary search takes at most _______ comparisons. A. 11 B. 100 C. 512 D. 6

A

O(1) is ________. A. constant time B. logarithmic time C. linear time D. log-linear time

A

The time complexity for the algorithm using the dynamic programming approach is ________. A. O(n) B. O(n^2) C. O(logn) D. O(2^n)

A

______________ approach divides the problem into subproblems, solves the subproblems, then combines the solutions of the subproblems to obtain the solution for the entire problem. Unlike the ________ approach, the subproblems in the divide-and-conquer approach don?t overlap. A subproblem is like the original problem with a smaller size, so you can apply recursion to solve the problem. A. Divide-and-conquer/dynamic programming B. Dynamic programming/divide-and-conquer C. Brutal-force/divide-and-conquer D. Backtracking/dynamic programming

A

Why is the analysis often for the worst case? A. Best-case is not representative. B. Worst-case is not representative, but worst-case analysis is very useful. You can show that the algorithm will never be slower than the worst-case. C. Average-case analysis is ideal, but difficult to perform, because it is hard to determine the relative probabilities and distributions of various input instances for many problems

A, B and C

On an average, linear search searches A. the whole list B. half of the list C. just one element in the list D. one fourth of the list

B

The Graham?s algorithm for finding a convex hull takes ______________ time. A. O(n) B. O(nlogn) C. O(logn) D. O(n^2)

B

The time complexity for the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm is ________. A. O(n) B. O(n^(1.5)/logn) C. O(logn) D. O(2^n)

B

The time complexity for the insertion sort algorithm in the text is ________. A. O(nlogn) B. O(n^2) C. O(logn) D. O(2^n)

B

The time complexity for the selection sort algorithm in the text is ________. A. O(nlogn) B. O(n^2) C. O(logn) D. O(2^n)

B

______________ approach is the process of solving subproblems, then combining the solutions of the subproblems to obtain an overall solution. This naturally leads to a recursive solution. However, it would be inefficient to use recursion, because the subproblems overlap. The key idea behind dynamic programming is to solve each subproblem only once and store the results for subproblems for later use to avoid redundant computing of the subproblems. A. Divide-and-conquer B. Dynamic programming C. Brutal-force D. Backtracking

B

Which of the following complexity is O(nlogn)? A. 300n + 400n*n B. 23nlogn + 50 C. 45n + 45nlogn + 503 D. n*n*n + nlogn

B and C

Estimating algorithm efficiency is ________. A. to measure their actual execution time B. to estimate their execution time C. to estimate their growth function

C

The time complexity for the Euclid?s algorithm is ________. A. O(n) B. O(n^2) C. O(logn) D. O(2^n)

C

The ________ approach searches for a candidate solution incrementally, abandoning that option as soon as it determines that the candidate cannot possibly be a valid solution, and then looks for a new candidate. A. Divide-and-conquer B. Dynamic programming C. Brutal-force D. Backtracking

D

The gift-wrapping algorithm for finding a convex hull takes ______________ time. A. O(n) B. O(nlogn) C. O(logn) D. O(n^2)

D
