3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define an algorithm in your own words.
Think of it as a recipe.
What does efficiency mean in the context of algorithms?
Remember the 'E for Efficiency' rule.
What is the main metric for analyzing an algorithm's efficiency?
Recall the discussion about hardware limitations.
True or False: An algorithm's efficiency can be measured by counting the number of steps it takes.
Consider how we defined 'steps' for algorithms.
Estimate the time required for an O(n³) algorithm processing 10,000 elements.
Break it down: what is n³?
Critically evaluate an algorithm that uses a brute-force method vs. a more efficient algorithm in a practical situation. Which would you choose and why?
Consider the example of sorting 1 billion contacts.
