Study Notes

Algorithmic Complexity

  • Measures resources needed to run an algorithm.
  • Resources include the amount of time needed (Time Complexity).
  • Resources also include the amount of memory needed (Space Complexity).

Time Complexity

  • Refers to the amount of time an algorithm takes to run, dependent on the input size.

Space Complexity

  • Refers to the amount of memory space an algorithm requires, relative to the input size.

Big O Notation

  • Describes the performance or complexity of an algorithm in the worst-case scenario.
  • Used to describe either time or space complexity.
  • O(1) is considered excellent
  • O(log n) is considered good.
  • O(n) is considered fair.
  • O(n log n) is considered bad.
  • O(n2) is considered horrible.
  • O(2n) is exponential.
  • O(n!) is terrible.

Common Data Structure Operations

  • Array Access has O(1) time complexity.
  • Adding to the end of an Array has O(1) time complexity.
  • Adding to the beginning or middle of an Array has O(n) time complexity.
  • Deleting from the end of an Array has O(1) time complexity.
  • Deleting from the beginning or middle of an Array has O(n) time complexity.
  • Linked List Access has O(n) time complexity.
  • Adding to the head of a Linked List has O(1) time complexity.
  • Adding to the tail of a Linked List has O(1) time complexity.
