Consider the following description of two algorithms, A and B, each with the same Big-O. In A's actual growth function there is a larger constant being added than in B's. In B's actual growth function the dominant factor has a larger constant multiplier than in A's. Assume that the functions are alike in every other way. When looking at actual run-times (rather than Big-Oh), is one likely to be better than the other in all circumstances? If so, which? Explain. A. Neither is better than the other in any circumstance, because the two algorithms have the same Big-Oh and will always have exactly the same performance.
B. B is the better algorithm because the larger constant addend in A means that A will always have more overhead than B.
C. A is the better algorithm because the larger constant multiplier in B means that A will always be more efficient than B.
D. None of these is correct.

Assume that to_the_power_of is a function that expects two int parameters and returns the value of the first parameter raised to the power of the second parameter. write a statement that calls to_the_power_of to compute the value of cube_side raised to the power of 3 and that associates this value with cube_volume.

Simon says is a memory game where "simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (r, g, b, y) and the user must repeat the sequence. create a for loop that compares the two strings starting from index 0. for each match, add one point to userscore. upon a mismatch, exit the loop using a break statement. assume simonpattern and userpattern are always the same length. ex: the following patterns yield a userscore of 4: simonpattern: rrgbryybgy userpattern: rrgbbrybgy
