Algorithm Efficiency
•So, evaluate your
performance needs and...
–consider how much
memory one approach requires over another
–evaluate the
strengths/weaknesses of the algorithms themselves
(are there certain cases that are not handled
effectively?).
–Overall, it is
important to examine algorithms for both style and
efficiency. If your problem size is small, don't
over analyze; pick the algorithm easiest to
code and understand. Sometimes less efficient algorithms are more appropriate.
