Which of the following describes the meaning of ease of implementation?

a. a measurement of the amount of third-party code that you reuse to implement an algorithm

b. a measurement of the length of the code created in all files necessary to implement an algorithm

c. a measurement of the amount of time needed to implement and maintain an algorithm

d. a measurement of the technical difficulty and the time required to implement an algorithm

d. a measurement of the technical difficulty and the time required to implement an algorithm

The correct answer is d. a measurement of the technical difficulty and the time required to implement an algorithm. Ease of implementation refers to how easily and efficiently an algorithm can be implemented, taking into account the technical difficulty and the time required for implementation. It does not specifically involve the amount of third-party code reused, the length of the code created, or the amount of time needed for maintenance.
