Question 1

What is the naive algorithm's approach to finding the closest pair of points?

  • Calculates distance between adjacent points
  • Calculates distances for all pairs
  • Uses a divide and conquer strategy

💡 Hint: Think about how many distances it checks.

Question 2

True or False: The naive algorithm can be suitable for small datasets.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the trade-off between performance and data size.
