Programs solve - answer problems.
Before writing a program, a programmer must first create an - answer algorithm to
correctly solve the given problem.
An algorithm is a sequence of steps that - answer solves a problem, generating correct
output for any valid input values. Ensuring an algorithm's correctness is a key job for a
programmer.
algorithm time efficiency: - answer The number of calculations required to solve a
problem. For the same problem, some algorithms may be much more time efficient than
others.
Simple programs are more likely to be - answer correct, and correctness is always most
important.
Efficient algorithms tend to be less - answersimple, so programmers should consider
efficiency only when needed, like when dealing with very large data sets that result in
slow program execution.
An algorithm describes a - answersequence of steps to solve a computational problem
or perform a calculation. An algorithm can be described in English, pseudocode, a
programming language, hardware, etc.
A computational problem specifies an - answerinput, a question about the input that can
be answered using a computer, and the desired output.
Shortest path/Navigation Algorithm - answerGiven a user's current location and desired
location, what is the fastest route to walk to the destination?
Binary Search/Search engine - Algorithm - answerGiven a product ID and a sorted array
of all in-stock products, is the product in stock and what is the product's price?
Longest Common Substring/DNA analysis - Algorithm - answerGiven two DNA
sequences from different individuals, what is the longest shared sequence of
nucleotides?
Computer scientists and programmers typically focus on using and designing efficient -
answeralgorithms to solve problems.
Algorithm efficiency is most commonly measured by the algorithm - answerruntime
