Top MCQs on Backtracking Algorithm with Answers (original) (raw)

Which of the following is not a backtracking algorithm?

Backtracking can be used to solve:

• Linear programming problems
• Problems with a single feasible solution
• Combinatorial optimization problems
• Problems with a fixed set of solutions

Backtracking may lead to a solution that is:

Backtracking is best suited for solving problems that involve:

• Searching in a sorted list
• Exploring all possible solutions

Which of the following is an example of a problem that can be solved using backtracking?

• Finding the median of an array
• Binary search in a sorted list
• Calculating the sum of elements in an array

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the backtracking algorithm?

• Breadth-first exploration

• Starting from the end of the problem

• Using a stack to keep track of solutions

• Iterating through all elements in a list

• Going back to a previous step if the current step doesn't work

Who coined the term "Backtracking"?

The backtracking algorithm is implemented by constructing a tree of choices known as?
