Study Notes
Algorithm Analysis Criteria
- Two criteria of analysis for algorithms:
- Correctness: ensuring the algorithm produces the correct output
- Efficiency: measuring the algorithm's performance and resource usage
Classification of Algorithms
- Based on their determinism, algorithms can be classified into two categories:
- Deterministic algorithms: always produce the same output for a given input
- Non-deterministic algorithms: may produce different outputs for the same input
Execution Time of an Algorithm
- The main factor that determines the execution time of an algorithm is the number of operations performed
- Execution time is directly proportional to the number of operations
Time Complexity (T(n))
- T(n) represents the time complexity of an algorithm, which is the number of operations performed as a function of the input size 'n'
- T(n) is used to measure the efficiency of an algorithm
Criteria of Analysis
- Three criteria of analysis mentioned in the text:
- Correctness
- Efficiency
- Scalability
