Space-Time Tradeoffs

← Back to Space Complexity

The principle that reducing time complexity often requires more memory, and vice versa. This fundamental tradeoff guides algorithm and data structure selection in practice.

Key Properties

  • Hash Tables vs Sorted Arrays
  • Memoization vs Recomputation
