This section explores the relationship between computational problems and algorithms. It explains how algorithms are used to solve computational problems by mapping inputs to solutions.
This section discusses the concept of algorithm correctness and how it is determined by whether the output satisfies the problem's specification. It explores the use of proofs in validating algorithm correctness.
This section covers the concept of algorithm efficiency and its measurement in terms of running time. It introduces the concept of worst-case running time and provides examples to demonstrate different worst-case running times of different algorithms.
