9 lessons1h 4m0 enrolledBeginner

What you'll learn
- Analyze time and space complexity using Big-O notation
- Identify common complexity classes from O(1) to O(n!)
- Calculate the trade-offs of iterative vs recursive algorithms
- Evaluate data structure performance for lists, trees, and hash tables
- Optimize inefficient code blocks to improve runtime performance
About this course
This course introduces algorithmic complexity and explains how Big-O notation helps measure algorithm efficiency. It covers common complexity types, asymptotic analysis, simplification rules, best, average and worst-case scenarios, and time and space complexity. Learners will also explore amortized analysis, basic recurrence relations, and practical examples to understand how algorithms perform as input sizes grow.
