Analyzing algorithm efficiency involves quantifying the time and space complexity from "summary" of Data Structures and Algorithms in Python by Michael T. Goodrich,Roberto Tamassia,Michael H. Goldwasser

When we assess the efficiency of an algorithm, we are essentially evaluating how well it performs in terms of time and space. Time complexity refers to the amount of time it takes for an algorithm to complete its task, while space complexity deals with the amount of memory space required for the algorithm to run. These two factors are crucial in determining the overall efficiency and effectiveness of an algorithm. Quantifying time complexity involves analyzing the number of operations or steps an algorithm takes to solve a problem. This is typically denoted using big O notation, which provides an upper bound on the gr...
