================================================================================= Big O Notation refers to as just "Big O," which is a mathematical notation used in computer science and mathematics to describe the upper bound or worst-case time complexity of an algorithm. It provides a way to analyze and compare the efficiency of different algorithms in terms of how their runtime or resource usage (typically time or space) grows with the size of the input data. In Big O notation, functions are used to describe the upper limit of an algorithm's performance. The notation is written as "O(f(n))," where "f(n)" represents a mathematical function that characterizes the upper bound of the algorithm's growth rate concerning its input size "n." Some common Big O notations and their meanings are:
Big O notation provides a way to reason about the scalability and efficiency of algorithms and helps developers choose the most appropriate algorithm for a particular problem based on the input size and desired performance. It is a fundamental concept in algorithm analysis and plays a crucial role in the design and optimization of software. ============================================ Plot different Big O complexities: compares the growth rates of various Big O complexities for input sizes from 1 to 9.
