# Space Time Complexity

complexityanalysisalgorithm

How much time does this algorithm need to finish? How much space do I need to run this algorithm? What is the relation between input size and time it takes to finish?

Asymptotic Notation to represent standardised way to gauging algorithms performance Big-O Notation - worst case scenarios Fit approximation

How time scales with respect to some input variables

Frequently seen symbols, is the number of input

Symbols Interpretation
constant time
this is what everybody wants
Logarithmic time
Linear time
Linearithmic time
Quadratic time
Cubic time
Exponential time,
Factorial time

# Big-O Properties

Depends on most dominant term in the function
