We can estimate the ________ of an algorithm by counting the number of basic steps it requires to solve a problem.
A) number of lines of code
B) efficiency
C) run time
D) code quality
E) result

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The efficiency of an algorithm is determined by the number of basic steps it requires to solve a problem. The fewer basic steps an algorithm requires, the more efficient it is. Counting the number of lines of code, run time, code quality, and result do not directly measure the efficiency of an algorithm.
