True or False? 1) If the growth function for an algorithm is expressed as polyno

Question

True or False?

1) If the growth function for an algorithm is expressed as polynomial terms, then the asymptotic complexity of the algorithm is determined by the term with the smallest exponent of the variable.

2) The asymptotic complexity, time complexity and order of an algorithm are the same concept.

3) All of the terms in a growth function(polynomial expression) contribute to the order of the function

4) An object can only contain one field that is a reference to another object of the same type.

5) Using the rear of the linked list as the top of the stack is the most efficient way to manage the stack.

6) It is possible to push an element to an empty stack.

7) An array and an indexed list are completely the same.

8) Time complexity is more important than space complexity when we design algorithms.

Explanation / Answer

As per Chegg policy, I am answering only first 4 subparts. In order to get the remaining questions please upload them again

1.) False. If the growth function for an algorithm is expressed as polynomial terms, then the asymptotic complexity of the algorithm is determined by the term with the largest exponent of the variable.

2.) True. The asymptotic complexity, time complexity and order of an algorithm are the same concept.

3.) False. All of the terms in a growth function(polynomial expression) don't contribute to the order of the function. In general, the dominating terma are considered in determining order of the function.

4.) False. An object can have many fields.
