Study Notes

Theta Notation

  • Represents tight bound on the time complexity of an algorithm.
  • Indicates the algorithm's runtime grows at the same rate as the input size.

Big O Notation

  • Provides upper bound on the time complexity.
  • Shows worst-case runtime of an algorithm.

Big Omega Notation

  • Represents lower bound on the time complexity.
  • Shows best-case runtime of an algorithm.

Little O Notation

  • Used when an algorithm's runtime grows strictly slower than the function specified.

Little Omega Notation

  • Indicates an algorithm's runtime grows strictly faster than the function specified.

Asymptotic Notations

  • Provide mathematical framework to analyze algorithm performance.
  • Help compare efficiency of different algorithms.

Big O Notation (Time Complexity)

  • Describes how runtime of an algorithm grows with input size.
  • Used to categorize algorithms based on their growth rates.

Big Omega Notation (Algorithm Analysis)

  • Represents minimum amount of time an algorithm will take to execute.
  • Useful for understanding algorithm's efficiency in best-case scenarios.

Theta Notation (Algorithm Analysis)

  • Represents exact rate of growth of an algorithm's runtime.
  • Gives a precise understanding of algorithm's performance.

Time Complexity (Big O Notation)

  • Represented using mathematical expressions like O(1) (constant time), O(n) (linear time), O(log n) (logarithmic time), O(n^2) (quadratic time), etc.
  • Provides a generalized way to compare algorithm efficiency.
