Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Algorithm Design And Problem Solving (Section 3 - No. 32)
What is meant by the term 'efficiency' in the context of algorithms?
The ease with which the algorithm can be understood.
The accuracy of the algorithm's output.
The amount of resources (time, memory) the algorithm uses.
The size of the algorithm's code.
Explication
Efficiency is about using minimal resources (time and memory) to achieve the result.
