SICP Exercise Runtime Statistics

This data table records the interpreter runtime of each exercise in Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP). The table reveals a huge variation in runtime across exercises, ranging from milliseconds to seconds. This reflects the impact of algorithmic efficiency and programming techniques on program performance. Some recursive algorithms show rapid runtime growth, while iterative counterparts prove more efficient. This data provides valuable insight for learning and understanding the algorithms and data structures presented in SICP.
