Asymptotic Notation
Learn about asymptotic notation and its role in analyzing the efficiency of algorithms.
Asymptotic notation is used to describe the behavior of functions as they approach a limit, often used in algorithm analysis. It provides a way to express the efficiency of algorithms in terms of time and space complexity.
Common Types of Asymptotic Notation
Big O Notation (O)
Big O notation represents the upper bound of the time complexity of an algorithm. It describes the worst-case scenario for an algorithm's performance.
Omega Notation (Ω)
Omega notation represents the lower bound of the time complexity of an algorithm. It describes the best-case scenario for an algorithm's performance.
Theta Notation (Θ)
Theta notation represents a tight bound on the time complexity of an algorithm. It describes the average-case scenario for an algorithm's performance.
Understanding asymptotic notation is essential for analyzing and comparing the efficiency of algorithms.
