Handling Large Numbers & Importance of Optimization | Data Structures and Algorithms | Tutorial #4

In this video, we tackle the challenges of handling large numbers (including use of Modulo) and dive into optimizing the process of counting divisors of an integer in C++. We start by exploring the naive approach of iterating through all numbers up to 𝑁 and then we enhance the efficiency using a smarter algorithm.

You'll learn:

The Inefficient Approach: A straightforward method that iterates from 1 to N to count divisors, with performance implications discussed.

Performance Analysis: Understanding how the number of operations affects execution time, considering processor speed and instruction counts.
The Optimized Algorithm: An improved method that iterates only up to 𝑁, reducing the number of operations significantly and counting each divisor pair correctly.

Practical Examples: Real-world execution times and practical considerations for large numbers.
Whether you're a beginner looking to understand basic divisor counting or an advanced developer aiming to optimize your code, this video will provide valuable insights and practical coding techniques.
