DAA Unit 1: Introduction to Algorithm Previous Year Questions

In this article, you will get the all-important questions that are mostly asked in the semester exams. We have collected this list of questions by taking help from the previous year’s question paper from the subject design and analysis of the algorithm.

So Before going for the final semester exam of the subject Algorithm, Please revise all the below questions and answers at least once. It will boost your knowledge and confidence as well.

The below questions are common question that is applicable to all colleges and universities. In the upcoming days, we will bring the university-wise questions and answers.
