IGNOU BCA 4th sem Solved Assignment - Explain the terms Worst case

Explain the terms Worst case
Ans

Worst possible environment or outcome out of the several possibilities in planning or simulation. Imagining a worst case scenario helps in planning expenditure cuts, in formulating contingency plans, and in setting aside enough reserves to cushion the impact if the event or situation actually occurs.

Worst case = slowest time to complete, with pessimal inputs chosen.
For example, the worst case for a sorting algorithm might be data that's sorted in reverse order (but it depends on the particular algorithm).
