If we can see how an algorithm's execution time increases with respect to n, we can compare two algorithms by examining their __________.
A) input
B) length
C) internal structure
D) growth rates

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Growth rates allow us to compare how the execution time of algorithms increases as the size of the input (n) grows, providing a basis for comparison independent of hardware or implementation details.
