LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Recognize the benefit of comparing the categories of an algorithm.

An engineer is designing a random selection algorithm to return a random output value from a set of input values. The engineer plans to make this algorithm publicly available so other engineers can make use of it later.

In this scenario, the engineer would likely want to favor as the most important category when developing their algorithm.

a$.)$ runtime complexity

b$.)$ integrity

c$.)$ ease of understanding

d$.)$ accuracy
