Complexity analysis

So far, we've gained a good understanding of what an algorithm is and how data structures can be used in an algorithm to make it work better. In our day-to-day life, any task can be completed in many ways. Similarly, in computer science, any computational problem can be solved using many solutions; in other words, they can be solved using many algorithms. Since we've a one-to-many relationship with respect to the problem versus solutions, we might easily get confused while choosing a solution for a particular problem. This is the time for us to understand how to analyze an algorithm and choose the one that suits our problem.

Whenever we're trying to fix a particular computational problem, it's obvious that we'll consider all possible algorithms that can solve it. But we can't use them all together while writing our solution. In...
