(c). Two Computer Science students, Priscilla and Julius, are discussing how to compare two algorithms for solving a given problem. Priscilla suggests that they should use the execution times of the algorithms as criterion; but Julius insists that they should use the number of statements the algorithms execute as criterion. Discuss the reasons why both criteria they are considering are not good for comparing algorithms; and recommend an ideal solution/criterion that Priscilla and Julius should rather use for comparing algorithms.

Show complete solution please. I am at a loss of how to even begin this problem and would like to learn how to work through each step.
(Oceanography) The pressure, P, exerted on an underwater object can be determined by this formula: P=gh is the density of water, which is 1.94slug/ft3 . g is the acceleration caused by Earth’s gravity, which is 32.2ft/sec2. h is the object’s depth in the water in feet. a. Determine the units of P by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for pressure listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the pressure on a submarine operating at a depth of 2500 feet.

2. In Africa there is a very special species of bee. Every year, the female bees of such species give birth to one male bee, while the male bees give birth to one male bee and one female bee, and then they die! Now scientists have accidentally found one “magical female bee” of such special species to the effect that she is immortal, but still able to give birth once a year as all the other female bees. The scientists would like to know how many bees there will be after N years. Please write a program that helps them find the number of male bees and the total number of all bees after N years. Input Each line of input contains an integer N (≥ 0). Input ends with a case where N = −1. (This case should NOT be processed.) Output Each line of output should have two numbers, the first one being the number of male bees after N years, and the second one being the total number of bees after N years. (The two numbers will not exceed 232.) Sample Input 1 3 -1 Sample Output 1 2 4 7
