Chapter $18$ Algorithm Comparison

Review the two algorithms that provide directions to Joe's Diner in the example in Chapter $18,$ section $3$ with the example

shown in Figure $18\mathrm{.}2.$ 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 $N^4.$ Why is the $8N+40$ portion ignored for the comparison of

algorithms? $N^4+8N+40$
