Question

An AGVS has an average loaded travel distance per delivery is 300 ft. The average empty travel distance is not known. Required number of deliveries per hour is 50. Load and unload times are 0.5 min each and AGV speed is 200 ft/min. Anticipated traffic factor is 0.85 and availability is 0.95. Develop an equation that relates the number of vehicles required to operate the system as a function of the average empty travel distance. What is meant by recursive algorithm has extra overhead than an iterative algorithm in python programming.

Explanation / Answer

6. An algorithm is a procedure or formula for solving a problem.If you want to repeat some steps in procedure you can opt Iterative algorithm or Recursive algorithm, but both may successfully accomplish the same task.

An Iterative algorithm will use looping statements such as for loop, while loop or do-while loop to repeat the same steps while a Recursive algorithm, a function calls itself again and again till the base condition(stopping condition) is satisfied.

An Iterative algorithm will be faster than the Recursive algorithm because of overheads like calling functions and registering stacks repeatedly. Many times the recursive algorithms are not efficient as they take more space and time.

Recursive algorithms are mostly used to solve complicated problems when their application is easy and effective. For example Tower of Hannoi algorithm is made easy by recursion while iterations are widely used, efficient and popular.
