DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHM

FINAL QUIZ

NAME: __Navarro, Jules Rhenz_____

1. An algorithm is simply a set of steps used to complete a specific task. They're the building blocks

for programming.

Answer: a.

2. Algorithms are classified based on the concepts that they use to accomplish a task. As long as

coding and programming continue to be used; algorithms will be at the heart of these

technologies.

Answer: a.

3. Most of the computer applications and mobile apps are developed using a certain algorithm.

They are the fundamental components on making applications that is interfaced with clients.

Answer: a.

4. A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. Sorting is often

an important first step in algorithms that solves more complex problems.

Answer: a.

5. Compare the first two elements in the list, and if the first is greater than the second, swap them.

This process is done in Linear sort.

Answer: c.

6. Algorithms can be expressed as natural languages, programming languages, pseudocode,

flowcharts and control tables. Natural language expressions are rare, as they are more

ambiguous.

Answer: a.

7. Algorithms use an initial input along with a set of instructions. The output is the initial data

needed to make decisions and can be represented in the form of numbers or words.

Answer: c.
8. The input data gets put through a set of instructions, or computations, which can include

arithmetic and decision-making processes. The input is the last step in an algorithm and is

normally expressed as more data.

Answer: c.

9. Machine learning uses supervised learning or unsupervised learning. Machine learning is a good

example of an algorithm.

Answer: a.

10. Machine learning used in artificial intelligence does not rely on algorithms. However, machine

learning-based systems may have inherent biases in the data that feeds the machine learning

algorithm.

Answer: b.

11. The easy availability of computers along with the growth of Internet has changed the way we

store and process data. We are living in a day and age where data is available in abundance.

Answer: a.

12. Concurrent processing is essential where the task involves processing a huge bulk of complex

data. This is where we require concurrent processing that can divide a complex task and process

its multiple systems to produce the output in quick time.

Answer: a.

13. Parallelism is the process of processing unique set of instructions simultaneously. It reduces

the total computational process.

Answer: b.

14. An algorithm is a sequence of instructions followed to solve a problem. While designing an

algorithm, we should consider the architecture of computer on which the algorithm will be

executed.

Answer: a.

15. It is not easy to divide a large problem into sub-problems. Sub-problems may have data

dependency among them.

Answer: a.
