Note: Answer atleast two full questions from each part.

PART -A

1. a) Explain the Notion of algorithm and its important characteristics with the
help of an algorithm. (06 Marks)
b) Write an algorithm to check whether the given number is an Armstrong
number or not.(Ex: 13+53+33=153) (06 Marks)
c) Briefly explain the following terms- (08 Marks)

b) Use the informal definitions of O, Ω, θ to determine whether
the following assertions are true or false. (06 Marks)
3 2
i) n(n+1)/2 € O(n ) ii)n(n+1)/2 € O(n )
iii) n(n+1)/2 € θ (n3) iv) n(n+1)/2€ Ω (n)
