Algorithm Analysis and Core Data Structures Explained
Fundamentals of Algorithms and Performance Analysis
An algorithm is a step-by-step set of instructions designed to perform a specific task or solve a problem efficiently. It acts as a blueprint for programming logic. Performance analysis of an algorithm focuses on determining its efficiency in terms of time and space. Time complexity measures how execution time grows with input size, while space complexity checks how much memory is required. These are often analyzed using asymptotic notations like
