Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 4: Time and memory space
Key Points
- The two primary metrics used to evaluate the **efficiency of an algorithm** are:
- Time Complexity: How fast the algorithm runs as the input size increases (measured in Big-O notation).
- Space Complexity: How much memory the algorithm uses relative to the input size.
- These measures help predict the algorithm’s performance regardless of the specific hardware.
Additional Information
- Option 1 (Processor and capacity): Refers to hardware specs, not algorithm efficiency.
- Option 2 (Data and time): Vague and not a standard measure.
- Option 3 (CPU and RAM): Hardware parameters, not algorithm-centric metrics.
Hence, the correct answer is: option 4: Time and memory space
