Algorithmic analysis is the study of how efficiently Effective algorithmic analysis is crucial for efficient
algorithms solve problems, considering factors like time program development. It helps us choose the best

their computational complexity, which reflects their performance, and predict how algorithms will scale as
resource demands as the input size grows. the input size increases.

Techniques: Divide and
Conquer, Dynamic Programming
Dynamic Programming
Dynamic programming solves problems by breaking them into overlapping
sub-problems and storing the solutions to these sub-problems to avoid
recomputation. This approach optimizes efficiency and avoids redundant
calculations. Examples include the Fibonacci sequence and the knapsack
problem.
