About this MCQ

This Hard Algorithms MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “In computer science, Big O notation refers to which of the following?”

The accepted answer is B. A mathematical notation used to describe the upper bound of an algorithm's time or space complexity.. In computer science Big O notation refers to which of the following is answered by A mathematical notation used to describe the upper bound of an algorithm's time or space complexity option B Option A A measure of the amount of time an algorithm takes to run as a function of input size does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A mathematical notation used to describe the upper bound of an algorithm's time or space complexity Option C A graph traversal algorithm that explores all neighbors at the current depth before moving deeper does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A mathematical notation used.

A. A measure of the amount of time an algorithm takes to run as a function of input size.
Why not A: “A measure of the amount of time an algorithm takes to run as a function of input size.” is not correct. The accepted answer is B. A mathematical notation used to describe the upper bound of an algorithm's time or space complexity..
