Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

An algorithm is the list of a finite set of instructions and rules that a computer needs to do to complete a task in order to solve a problem.

In short, an algorithm is a series of instructions that are implemented step by step to solve a problem. For example, you could consider a pizza recipe an algorithm for making a pizza in an everyday life routine. But when you are talking about using algorithms in computation and in mathematics. It means that solving a problem using a series of steps step by step.

For example, your everyday tasks aligned on a google calendar and remind you about your tasks using the alarm, etc- how to implement this using set of instructions and rules- is an algorithm.

Solving a quadratic equation is another example of an algorithm.

Binary search, array sorting are an example of an algorithm in computation. Because these algorithms based on the execution of step-by-step instruction to solve a problem such as sorting a list of numbers etc.

Suppose that in a 00-11 knapsack problem, the order of the items when sorted by increasing weight is the same as their order whe
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

The glamorous objective is to examine the items (as being the most valuable and "cheapest" items are chosen) while no item is selectable - in other words, the loading can be reached.

Assume that such a strategy also isn't optimum, this is that there is the set of items not including one of the selfish strategy items (say, i-th item), but instead a heavy, less valuable item j, with j > i and is optimal.

As W_i < w_j, the i-th item may be substituted by the j-th item, as well as the overall load is still sustainable. Moreover, because v_i>v_j and this strategy is better, our total profit has dropped. Contradiction.
