Efficiency Of Algorithms

Akopọ

Ask a class of thirty to add up the numbers from 1 to 100 and most of them start at the left and work along. One of them writes 5050 after a few seconds, because 1 and 100 make 101, and so do 2 and 99, and there are fifty such pairs. Both people solve the same problem. Both get the same answer. One did ninety-nine additions and the other did about three operations, and that gap is the entire content of this lesson.

You will learn why more than one algorithm can solve the same problem, what makes one of them more efficient than another, and how to compare two algorithms by counting the work they do rather than by timing them on a stopwatch. You will also learn where this specification stops: it asks only about time efficiency, and it never asks for a formal mathematical comparison. Knowing the boundary of a topic is worth marks, because it tells you what a question can and cannot be asking.

Awọn Afojusun

  1. Understand that more than one algorithm can be used to solve the same problem. Compare the efficiency of algorithms explaining how some algorithms are more efficient than others in solving the same problem.

A problem is a statement of what must be achieved. An algorithm is one method of achieving it. Nothing anywhere says a problem gets only one method, and in practice almost every problem worth solving has several. Finding a name in a list, sorting a set of marks, working out whether a number is prime, drawing a line on a screen: each of those has a handful of well known algorithms, and choosing between them is a real engineering decision rather than a matter of taste.
