Study Notes
- Algorithmic complexity measures the resources, like time or memory, an algorithm needs.
- Complexity is expressed as a function of the input size.
- Algorithmic complexity allows comparison of algorithms independent of implementation and hardware.
Reasons to Use Algorithmic Complexity
- It predicts the algorithmic resources required without implementation.
- It facilitates efficiency comparisons between different algorithms.
- It aids in choosing the best algorithm for a specific problem.
Determining Algorithmic Complexity
Counting Operations
- Identify operations contributing significantly to execution time.
- Count operation executions as a function of input size, denoted as n.
- Simplify the expression, disregarding constants and lower-order terms.
Expression as Function of Input Size
- Example:
sum_listfunction in Python - The function involves one assignment, n iterations of addition and assignment, and a return statement.
- Total time complexity is represented as T(n) = 1 + n * 2 + 1 = 2n + 2.
Simplification Using Big O Notation
- Big O notation defines the upper complexity bound of an algorithm.
- Constants are ignored, such that O(2n) simplifies to O(n).
- Lower-order terms are ignored so O(n + log(n)) simplifies to O(n).
Common Complexities
| Complexity | Name | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| $O(1)$ | Constant | Time is independent of input size. |
| $O(log n)$ | Logarithmic | Time is proportional to the logarithm of n. |
| $O(n)$ | Linear | Time is proportional to the input size n. |
| $O(n log n)$ | "Linearithmic" | Time is proportional to n times log n. |
| $O(n^2)$ | Quadratic | Time is proportional to the square of n. |
| $O(2^n)$ | Exponential | Time is proportional to a constant to the power of n. |
Example: Finding the Maximum Value in a List
Algorithm 1: Iteration
- Iterate through the list, tracking the maximum value encountered.
- Time complexity is T(n) = 1 + n * 1 + 1 = n + 2 = O(n).
Algorithm 2: Sorting
- Sort the list and then return the last element.
- Time Complexity is T(n) = n log n + 1 = O(n log n).
Conclusion
- Algorithm 1 has lower complexity, making it more efficient than Algorithm 2.
