Algorithmic Efficiency - What do you mean by efficiency of algorithm?
Answer
On average, how long does it take an algorithm to process a particular data set? That's the efficiency metric. The orderliness of the efficiency is usually what defines it. Take, for example, the efficiency of a bubble sort algorithm while sorting N items. It is often expressed as O(N2), which is a proportional term.
