"Design and Analysis of Algorithms"

"Design and Analysis of Algorithms" refers to the systematic approach to creating and evaluating step-by-step procedures (algorithms) for solving problems efficiently. The design focuses on crafting effective methods to perform tasks, such as sorting data or finding the shortest path in navigation systems. The analysis assesses the performance of these algorithms, considering factors like speed (time complexity) and resource usage (space complexity). Understanding this field allows developers to choose the best algorithm for a given situation, ensuring solutions are both effective and efficient.
