Algorithmic Efficiency - Beating a Dead Horse Faster
Posted on Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 11:40:36 CET
Topic: HOWTOs and similar articles
|
 In computer science, often the question is not how to solve a problem, but how to solve a problem well. For instance, take the problem of sorting. Many sorting algorithms are well-known; the problem is not to find a way to sort words, but to find a way to efficiently sort words. This article is about understanding how to compare the relative efficiency of algorithms and why it's important to do so. If it's possible to solve a problem by using a brute force technique, such as trying out all possible combinations of solutions (for instance, sorting a group of words by trying all possible orderings until you find one that is in order), then why is it necessary to find a better approach? The simplest answer is, if you had a fast enough computer, maybe it wouldn't be.
