Listed below are topic(s) I would like for each of you to discuss throughout the week. Refer to the textbook, weekly materials, and/or the GMC library when researching the topics for this Discussion Forum. Put your writing into your own words, do not copy directly from the source. If you incorporate external resources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicals) in your posts be sure to cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7th) them properly. Lastly, review how to paraphrase and quote resources before you begin posting (http://gmcga.libguides.com/c.php?g=458&p=996448).
Chapter 18 Algorithm Comparison
Review the two algorithms that provide directions to Joes Diner in the example in Chapter 18, section 3 with the example shown in Figure 18.2. Compare the two algorithms to determine how they are similar and how they are different in terms of correctness and efficiency. Which algorithm would be preferable in terms of computing time and the amount of work required to complete the algorithm? Determine what criteria you would add to the problem to clarify which of the algorithms would be selected when comparing the two algorithms. Explain your answer.
Chapter 18 Big-O Notation
Considering the value of N that is the Big-O notation in a given problem. Why is the Big-O notation the only portion of the problem that is measured? Explain the reason the other portions of the problem are left out of the comparison. For example, the Big-O notation for the following problem is N4. Why is the 8N + 40 portion ignored for the comparison of algorithms? N4 + 8N + 40
Task 1: Create a new discussion topic on or before the due date in the Course Syllabus -> Course Schedule by clicking the ‘**REPLY HERE**’ post below. In your reply, you will post your response to the main topic. Your response should be a minimum of 150 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 500+ words!
