Consider a Boolean function of ‘n’ variables. The order of an algorithm that determines whether the Boolean function produces a output 1 is :
Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Exponential
Explanation
Deciding whether a Boolean function of n variables can output 1 is SAT; known algorithms try up to 2ⁿ assignments, so it is exponential.
