Big Thetha
Big Θ (Theta) notation is a mathematical concept used to describe the tight bound of an algorithm’s performance. Unlike Big O, which focuses on the worst-case scenario, or Big Ω, which captures the best-case scenario, Big Θ provides a precise measure of the algorithm’s growth rate by considering both upper and lower bounds. It essentially…

Big Omega
Big Ω (Omega) notation is a mathematical concept used to describe the best-case performance of an algorithm. It provides a lower bound on the running time or space required by an algorithm as a function of the input size . In simpler terms, Big Ω defines the minimum time an algorithm will take, regardless of…

Big – O – Notation (time & space complexity)
The Big-O notation is a mathematical concept used in computer science to describe the efficiency of an algorithm based on its time or space complexity as the input size grows. It provides a way to measure the upper limit of an algorithm’s performance, helping developers estimate scalability and potential bottlenecks. Key Concepts of Big-O Notation…
