Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Algorithm Design And Problem Solving (Section 8 - No. 47)

In algorithm design, what is the purpose of ‘abnormal data’?

To check how the algorithm functions when the data is out of boundaries.

To determine the algorithm's efficiency in handling normal data.

To perform calculations that give the correct result.

To determine the expected output.

Abnormal data, like boundary data, is used to test the limits of the algorithm.
