An algorithm is a specific set of instructions for carrying out a procedure or solving a problem, usually with the requirement that the procedure terminate at some point. Specific algorithms sometimes also go by the name method, procedure, or technique.

What is the example of finiteness in algorithm?

I've never heard the term "finiteness" applied to an algorithm, but I think that's because the definition of an algorithm includes that it must be finite. So think of any algorithm and there is your example of finiteness.

What are the differences between the A algorithm and Dijkstra's algorithm in terms of their efficiency and optimality in finding the shortest path?

The A algorithm is more efficient than Dijkstra's algorithm because it uses heuristics to guide its search, making it faster in finding the shortest path. A is also optimal when using an admissible heuristic, meaning it will always find the shortest path. Dijkstra's algorithm, on the other hand, explores all possible paths equally and is not as efficient or optimal as A.

What is the complexity of the algorithm in terms of time and space when solving a problem with an exponential space requirement?

The complexity of the algorithm refers to how much time and space it needs to solve a problem. When dealing with a problem that has an exponential space requirement, the algorithm's complexity will also be exponential, meaning it will take a lot of time and memory to solve the problem.

Where we can use dijkstra's algorithm?

A practical application is in certain routing protocols, like OSPF. The problem it solves is to search for the "shortest" path to each destination - "shortest" meaning the one that has the lowest "distance" or "metric" according to the criteria used. Dijkstra's algorithm is easy to use and is a good graph search algorithm to use when it is hard to calculate the heuristics.
