Chapter 17.3, Problem 17.11CP

Explanation of Solution

Basic operations:

The basic operation is the initial step in the algorithm and this is otherwise called as basic step.

  • Normally, the algorithm executes the basic step in constant time rather than considering about the size of the input.
  • So, it means that size of the bound does not affect the efficiency of the operations.
  • The complexity of an algorithm can be found out by finding the number of basic steps required for an input.

Comparing the efficiency of an algorithm:

In the given question, one algorithm requires “10n” basic operations to process an input
