DS Algorithms and Expression Quiz

Which of the following best describes an unambiguous algorithm?

• It changes based on user input

• It is clearly defined and concise

• It requires user intuition

• It is dependent on programming language

Why is it important for an algorithm to be finite?

• To allow multiple infinite processes

• To complete a task within a known number of steps

• To support recursion indefinitely

• To generate dynamic data continuously

Which feature ensures an algorithm can be executed regardless of coding language?

• Feasibility

• Ambiguity

• Independence

• Looping

The term feasible in algorithm design refers to:

• Compatibility with software only

• Execution within available resources

• General user-friendliness

• Dependence on a specific syntax

Which of these is NOT a required characteristic of a well-designed algorithm?

• Finite number of steps

• Dependence on hardware architecture

• Unambiguous logic

• Well-defined sequence

In an algorithm, variables are used to:

• Store fixed values only

• Perform only graphical operations

• Represent changeable values that affect outcomes

• Define constant data

What role do conditionals play in algorithmic design?

• Repeat processes endlessly

• Handle external device input

• Make decisions within the algorithm

• Eliminate redundant variables

Loops in an algorithm are used to:

• repeat a sequence of instructions until a certain condition is met

• store data

• perform calculations

• input data

What is a sub-algorithm?

• A. A simplified version of an algorithm used for illustration

• B. An unrelated minor process

• C. A step within a larger algorithmic process

• D. A software update module
