An advantage of algorithms over heuristics is that ________.
A)algorithms are much faster
B)algorithms guarantee a correct answer if one is available
C)algorithms are shortcuts
D)algorithms use rules-of-thumb

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Algorithms are systematic procedures that are guaranteed to solve a problem if a solution exists. In contrast, heuristics are rules-of-thumb that may provide a solution, but do not guarantee it and may not be the most efficient approach. While algorithms may not always be faster than heuristics, they are more reliable in producing a correct solution.
