The process of determining the running time and memory cost of an algorithm by reading the code and creating a mathematical formula expressing this cost is known by what term?
A) pattern analysis
B) complexity analysis
C) cost analysis
D) micro analysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is because the process described in the question is commonly known as complexity analysis, which involves analyzing the computational complexity of an algorithm, typically by looking at its time and space complexity. The other options (pattern analysis, cost analysis, micro analysis) are not commonly used terms to describe this process.
