    Study Notes

    Data Sorting Algorithms

    • Quick Sort is a widely used sorting algorithm known for its efficiency.
    • Binary Search requires sorted data for optimal operation.

    Quick Sort Complexity

    • Quick Sort has an average time complexity of O(n log n).
    • In the worst-case scenario, Quick Sort can degrade to O(n²), typically occurring with sorted or reverse-sorted input.

    Function Definition in Python

    • In Python, a function is defined using the def keyword.

    Data Structures and Their Characteristics

    • Understanding of various data structures is crucial, as each has unique properties and use-cases that influence their effectiveness in different programming scenarios.
