question 51

Multiple Choice

What statement regarding the development of fast algorithms is accurate?

• A) As a rule, any reduction in the order of magnitude of complexity is preferable to a tweak in code that reduces the constant of proportionality.
• B) As a rule, any reduction in the constant of proportionality is preferable to a tweak that reduces the order of magnitude in complexity.
• C) As a rule, any reduction in the lines of code required to make an algorithm function is desirable to that of faster run times.
• D) As a rule, any reduction in the use of memory required by an algorithm is preferred over a tweak that improves run times.

Internal Organs

The critical structures within the body that perform its vital functions, including the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys.

Pain Receptors

Pain receptors, or nociceptors, are sensory neurons that respond to damaging or potentially damaging stimuli by sending signals to the brain, which interprets them as pain.

Spinal Cord

The long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue, which extends from the brainstem down the back, and is responsible for transmitting neural signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
