An understanding of these limits prevents the search for nonexisting efficient algorithms. However, we dont consider any of these factors while analyzing the algorithm. Algorithmic efficiency can be thought of as analogous to engineering productivity for a. Similarly, space complexity of an algorithm quantifies the amount of space or memory taken by an algorithm to run as a function of the length of the input.
In order to identify the space wise efficiency we need to look at the amount of data structures used as the algorithm is running. Cs1 is based on the book fundamentals of computing i,by tucker et al.

Finally, using synthetic and realworld data, we show that our algorithms are indeed as space efficient in practice as their theoretical analysis predicts compared to previous best algorithms. Time and space complexity depends on lots of things like hardware, operating system, processors, etc. An algorithm must be analyzed to determine its resource usage, and the efficiency of an algorithm can be measured based on usage of different resources.
