ECE 361: Computer Organization - Fall 2018 October 31, 2018 Page 4 of 9 Name: d. (15 pts) Provide short answers (two or three sentences) for the following questions: 1. (max. 5 pts) Describe a few of the techniques and constructs used to create a module of C code designed for reusability (max. 5 pts) Big O Notation (so the experts say) allows us to easily categorize the efficiency of a given algorithm and convey it to others...yet Big O Notation ignores constants (i.e. N is the same as N/2 and 10000N is the same as N). Justify (whether you believe it or not) why Big O Notation is still a useful way to compare algorithms. 2. 3. (max. 5 pts) What is a "makefile?" Briefly describe how a makefile is used to automate the build process for complex applications. ECE 361: Computer Organization - Fall 2018 October 31, 2018 Page 4 of 9 Name: d.
