Algorithms Analysis Practice Test

Question: 1 / 400

True or False: O(1) indicates an algorithm that operates in constant time.

True

The statement is true because O(1) denotes an algorithm whose execution time remains constant regardless of the size of the input data set. This means that no matter how large or small the input is, the time taken by the algorithm to complete its operation will remain the same. An example of an O(1) operation is accessing an element in an array by its index; it takes the same amount of time to retrieve an element, whether the array has 10 elements or 10 million elements. This characteristic makes O(1) very efficient in terms of time complexity, as it guarantees a fixed execution time.
