About this video
Understanding Big-O notation is crucial for writing efficient code and acing coding interviews! In this video, we break down the fundamentals of time and space complexity in a simple yet comprehensive way.
What youβll learn:
π§ Memory Analysis: How to analyze the memory (space complexity) of a program
β³ Time Complexity: How execution time scales with input size
β οΈ Worst-Case Focus: Why we prioritize worst-case scenarios in complexity analysis
π Common Complexities: O(1), O(n), O(nΒ²), O(log n), and O(n log n)
βοΈ Time-Space Trade-off: When to optimize for speed vs memory
By the end of this video, youβll have a solid grasp of how to measure algorithm efficiency, making you a better problem solver and a stronger programmer!
