Introduction to Profiling

Profiling in general, is an important feature in computer science. It is technique, in the most basic terms, by which one can analyze the efficiency of the program or code by measuring the complexity of a program time or space complexity, and some other related performance parameters. For Example, the time complexity includes total running time, CPU time, memory used, time taken by each module or function, function calls, response time and many similar important aspects of our program/application.
