Data Structures and Algorithms: Efficiency and Complexity

Abstract:
This paper discusses fundamental data structures and algorithms, examining their efficiency through
complexity analysis. The focus is on practical applications in sorting, searching, and data organization.

Introduction:
Data structures organize data efficiently, while algorithms provide procedures for solving computational
problems. The efficiency of algorithms is measured in terms of time and space complexity, which are
formalized using Big-O notation.

Key Data Structures:


The primary data structures include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. Each structure
has unique properties that make it suitable for specific tasks, such as searching, sorting, or traversal.

Sorting and Searching Algorithms:


Common algorithms include quicksort, mergesort, and binary search. Quicksort has an average-case time
complexity of O(nlog⁡n)O(n \log n)O(nlogn), making it highly efficient for large datasets. Binary search,
with a complexity of O(log⁡n)O(\log n)O(logn), is optimal for sorted data.

Complexity Analysis:
Big-O notation expresses the worst-case scenario for algorithm performance. For instance, an algorithm
with a time complexity of O(n2)O(n^2)O(n2) may be inefficient for large inputs, while one with
O(log⁡n)O(\log n)O(logn) remains efficient.
