#algorithm efficiency

A basic introduction to #sorting for #developers #completedevpod

An algorithm is a finite set of instructions that are well defined. They can be implemented by a computer and typically solve a particular type of problem. They are used to explicitly define specifications for computer functionality. Found in mathematics as well, they are not limited to computer science. Basically they are a set of rules that a computer or mathematician {sometimes there is…

Optimizing #algorithm #efficiency

Typically, when someone uses the term efficiency, they are describing how much effort is required to achieve a result. The term is quantified and used for comparison to something else’s efficiency. The assertion that something is “efficient” without comparing it to something else isn’t particularly useful. There are numerous ways to quantify efficiency, but most are limited in that they don’t…
