⚡ Performance & Algorithm Optimization
Understanding how algorithms scale in time and memory is critical for writing high-performance software.
Core Topics
- Time Complexity: Deep dive into Big O notation ($O(1)$, $O(\log n)$, $O(n)$, $O(n^2)$) with real-code examples.
- Space Complexity: Analyzing auxiliary space usage, call stack overhead, and dynamic allocation.
- Algorithm Analysis: Best-case, average-case, and worst-case mathematical analysis.
- Optimization Techniques: Practical loop unrolling, memoization, caching, and data structure selection.
- Benchmarking Methods: Profiling tools and micro-benchmarking techniques across programming languages.
