Technical Definition
Classifying computational problems by difficulty and understanding the relationships between different problem classes.
How it works
This theory analyzes the resources—like time and memory—required to solve computational problems. It categorizes problems into different complexity classes, helping us understand which problems are practically solvable by computers and which are theoretically intractable.
