Study Notes
Algorithm Analysis
- T(n) represents the time complexity of an algorithm, which is the amount of time it takes to complete as a function of the size of the input (n).
Criteria for Analyzing Algorithms
- One of the criteria used for analyzing algorithms is the execution time, which is the time it takes for the algorithm to complete.
Execution Time of an Algorithm
- The execution time of an algorithm can vary depending on the input size and the computer's processing power.
Trade-off between Execution Time and Memory Usage
- It is not possible to simultaneously minimize the execution time and memory usage of an algorithm because there is a trade-off between these two factors: optimizing one often comes at the expense of the other.
Classification of Algorithms
- Algorithms can be classified based on the criteria of analysis, which includes time complexity, space complexity, and scalability.
