Why is Performance of Algorithms Important ?
There are many important things that should be taken care of, like user-friendliness, modularity, security, maintainability, etc. Why worry about performance?  The answer to this is simple, we can have all the above things only if we have performance. So performance is like currency through which we can buy all the above things. Another reason for studying performance is - speed is fun!

Why Analysis of Algorithms is important ?
Algorithm analysis is an important part of computational complexity theory, which provides theoretical estimation for the required resources of an algorithm to solve a specific computational problem. Analysis of algorithms is the determination of the amount of time and space resources required to execute it.

  • To predict the behavior of an algorithm for large inputs (Scalable Software).
  • It is much more convenient to have simple measures for the efficiency of an algorithm than to implement the algorithm and test the efficiency every time a certain parameter in the underlying computer system changes.
  • More importantly, by analyzing different algorithms, we can compare them to determine the best one for our purpose.
