An algorithm is a finite sequence of clear instructions designed to solve specific problems, forming the basis of programming and software design. Algorithmic complexity assesses efficiency in terms of time and space, with Big-O notation indicating worst-case scenarios. Key algorithms discussed include bubble sort (O(n²)), quick sort (average O(n log n)), and binary search (O(log n)).

Computer Science - Algorithms

An algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined instructions to solve a class of problems. It


must be clear, unambiguous, and terminate after a finite number of steps. Algorithms are
the foundation of programming and software design.

Algorithmic complexity measures efficiency in terms of time and space. Time complexity
refers to the number of steps as input size grows, while space complexity measures memory
usage. Big-O notation (e.g., O(n), O(log n)) describes worst-case scenarios.

Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm that compares adjacent elements and swaps them
if out of order. Though intuitive, it is inefficient for large datasets with a time complexity of
O(n²). It is useful for teaching concepts.

Quick sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that partitions an array and recursively sorts
the partitions. It has an average time complexity of O(n log n) but may degrade to O(n²) in
the worst case depending on pivot choice.

Binary search is an efficient search algorithm for sorted arrays. It divides the array in half
repeatedly, comparing the target to the midpoint. This results in a time complexity of O(log
n), making it much faster than linear search.
