Understanding Complexity Classes (P, NP, NP-Hard, NP-Complete) | 11th Computer Science Lecture 📚

In this video, we cover one of the most important and challenging topics of Computer Science — Complexity Classes. You'll learn what these classes mean, why they matter, and how to understand them with simple real-world examples.

🧠 Topics Covered:

What is Computational Complexity?

✅ Class P: Problems that can be solved quickly by a computer (e.g., sorting numbers).

🤔 Class NP: Problems where the solution is hard to find but easy to verify (e.g., Sudoku puzzle).

🔍 Class NP-Hard: Extremely difficult problems with no known fast solution (e.g., Traveling Salesman Problem - TSP).

🔐 Class NP-Complete: Problems that are both in NP and as hard as NP-Hard (e.g., Knapsack Problem).

📊 We’ve also discussed:

The background and purpose of these complexity classes

Simple illustrations and comparisons

How real-life problems fit into these classes

A helpful Venn diagram to understand their relationships

📚 Whether you're preparing for your exams or just want to understand what makes some problems so hard for computers to solve, this video will clear your concepts.
