Time
complexity :
↳ how much time it requires to solve a particular problem
↳

algorithm
↳
upper limit for the amount of time taken relative to the number
it of data elements

↳
allows
you
to predict the amount of time it takes for an
algorithm to finish guien the
number of data elements
Big O notation Name Description
O(1) Constant time the amount of time taken to complete an
complexity algorithm is independent from the number of
elements inputted
O(n) Linear
Lime the amount of time taken to complete an
complexity algorithm is directly proportional to the number
of elements inputted
O(nz) Polynomial/quadratic the amount of time taken to complete an
time the
complexity algorithm is
directionally proportional to
elements
square of the inputted
O(nt) the amount of time taken to complete
Polynomial time an
to the elements
complexity algorithm is
directly proportional
Inputted to the
power of n
O(24) Exponential time the amount of time taken to complete an
complexity algorithm will double with additional item
every
Ollogn) Logarithmic time the time taken to complete an
algorithm will
complexity increase at a smaller rate as the number of
elements inputted
