a) In reference to algorithm analysis, explain performance
based on the number of basic operations executed
b) In the same reference also explain problem cost vs.
program cost
Solution
Answer:
(a)The run-time complexity for the worst-case scenario of a
given algorithm can sometimes be evaluated by examining
the structure of the algorithm and making some simplifying
assumptions.A given computer will take a discrete amount
of time to execute each of the instructions involved with
carrying out an algorithm. The specific amount of time to
carry out a given instruction will vary depending on which
instruction is being executed and which computer is
executing it.
(b)Problem cost comprises of cost of understanding
,programming and cost of running a program where as
program cost comprises cost of running a program.
