? What is the purpose of algorithms in computer science

Algorithms are step-by-step instructions or procedures designed to solve specific problems or perform tasks efficiently. In computer science, they are fundamental for tasks like data sorting, searching, and optimization, making software and systems more efficient and effective.

How do you measure the efficiency of an algorithm

Algorithm efficiency is often measured in terms of time complexity and space complexity. Time complexity assesses how an algorithm's execution time grows with input size, typically expressed using big O notation. Space complexity evaluates how much memory an algorithm consumes. Lower time and space complexity indicate more efficient algorithms.
