Introducing profiling

Now, let's understand profiling in a little more detail. In the context of software engineering and development, profiling is a form of dynamic program analysis that may be used as a means of measurement regarding certain parameters such as memory, CPU time, and so on.

Here, profiling may also be defined as the use of a specific set of instructions in a program, along with the length or the regularity of function calls. However, profiling is most often undertaken as an aid to the optimization of any computer software.

Profiling is typically conducted by a specific tool that is referred to as a profiler. This tool may utilize multiple methods based on either statistical simulation or even many event-based techniques to create such profiles.

Furthermore, profiling helps address the cumbersome task of having to perform memory management on its own. In most...
