Explain the difference between time complexity and space complexity.
Time complexity and space complexity are interchangeable terms that mean the same thing.
Time complexity focuses on execution time, whereas space complexity focuses on memory usage.
Time complexity is only concerned with the worst-case scenario, while space complexity is always constant.
Time complexity measures the number of operations, while space complexity measures the speed of the algorithm.

What is a greedy algorithm? Give an example.
An example of a greedy algorithm is sorting a list in ascending order.
An example of a greedy algorithm is the Coin Change Problem, where the goal is to make change for a given amount using the fewest coins possible. The algorithm selects the largest denomination coin first until the amount is reached.
A greedy algorithm is one that uses dynamic programming to solve problems.

Explain the difference between linear search and binary search.
Linear search is O(n) in time complexity, while binary search is O(log n) and requires a sorted array.
Linear search has a time complexity of O(log n).
Binary search can be performed on unsorted arrays.
Linear search is faster than binary search for large datasets.
