10. Write Efficient and Well-Organized Code for Complex Problem-Solving
Writing efficient and well-organized code is critical for addressing complex real-world challenges. Key strategies include breaking problems into subproblems, using appropriate data structures, and following best practices for optimization. The importance of maintainability, clarity, and scalability is emphasized to ensure code is easily understood and manageable by both oneself and others.

Key Concepts
- -- Correctness
- Producing the correct output for all valid inputs.
- -- Efficiency
- Optimized time and space usage.
- -- Readability
- Code must be easy to understand, with meaningful names and proper formatting.
- -- Modularity
- Code divided into functions or classes with single responsibilities.
- -- Reusability
- Code can be reused in other problems or systems.
- -- Scalability
- Code performs well as data or input size grows.
- -- DRY Principle
- Don’t Repeat Yourself - avoid redundancy in code.
- -- Time Complexity
- An indication of how the runtime of an algorithm increases with an increase in input size.
- -- Space Complexity
- An indication of how the memory consumption of an algorithm grows with input size.
- -- Abstraction
- The concept of hiding the complex reality while exposing only the necessary parts.
