Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider an algorithm with time complexity O(n^2) and another with O(2^n). Compare the input limit for efficiency. When would each algorithm be preferable?
💡 Hint: Analyze how time complexity interacts with the input size.
You have two datasets, one with 1,000 elements, another with 10,000. Discuss how the choice of O(n) versus O(n log n) algorithm would impact performance.
💡 Hint: Consider the common scenarios for algorithm usage in practice.
