Algorithms Flashcards
1
Q
Algorithm
A
Sequence of steps that solves a problem by generating correct output for any valid input values
2
Q
Algorithm Time Efficiency
A
The number of calculations required to solve a problem
3
Q
Linear Search
A
Starts with first items and checks each item until found or reaching the list’s end
Linear search may be slow
4

Binary Search
A
Check’s the range’s middle. If the value is greater, the search is made on the upper half. If less, on lower half. Search continues until found or no range remains.
