Algorithm Design and Anlysis Quick sort: runs fast on the arrays that are already sorted - --False Quick Sort: Best-case time complexity - --Big-Theta(n) where is the number of elements in the array Quick Sort: Average-case time complexity - --O(n*logn) Quick Sort: Worst-case time complexity - ...

AQA A-Level computer science 03 / Fundamentals of Algorithms bubble sort - ANSWER-Compares each pair of elements in the array and swaps them if necessary. O(N^2) because it passes through the array N times. Since each pass through the array is N operations, this is N times N operations = N^2 op...

U6 Algorithms Efficiency - ANSWER-A measure of how many steps are needed to complete an algorithm. Linear Search - ANSWER-A search algorithm which checks each element of a list in order until the desired value is found or all the elements in the list have been checked Binary search - ANSWER-a s...

Week 1: Introduction to algorithms and the digital society What is the premise of an algorithm? (According to BBC Ideas) - ANSWER-data goes in - a set of instructions are followed - then a product comes out What does BBC Ideas say about whether or not we should be scared of algorithms? - ANSWER...

Data Science 11 - Clustering algorithms k-Means and variants; Initialization: • Randomly chooses k points from X used as the initial means • k-Means++: Pick initial means, such that they are uniformly distributed in the space. This leads to faster convergence k-Means and variants; Represent...
