Простыми словами о Big O (Time Complexity)
Есть у программистов понятие «временная сложность» (time complexity or Big O) для сравнительной оценки эффективности алгоритма.
К примеру, для некоторой структуры может быть линейное время доступа (искомый элемент либо встретится сразу, либо он может быть в самом конце, и если структура очень большая (n — это число элементов), а элемент в самом конце, то поиск может быть долгим. Обычно рассматривают время доступа в среднем и худшем случае. Big O — обозначение верхней границы, т.е. худшего случая. Для нашего примера O(n).
Также есть константное время доступа (например, когда мы знаем индекс элемента в структуре и обращаемся к элементу по его индексу), тогда где бы элемент не находился, мы всегда можем получить к нему доступ за O(1).
Так вот, поездка на машине в снежную погоду — это скорее O(n) (неизвестно за сколько доберёшься из-за пробок), а на метро — O(1) (всегда примерно одинаковое время на дорогу).
Эффективность алгоритмов варьируется от O(1) до O(n!), их полный список можно найти на вики (ссылка в конце статьи).
В своё время мне помогли «войти в тему» следующие статьи, их я очень советую прочесть:

Summary
Learn how to compare algorithms and develop code that scales! In this post, we cover 8 Big-O notations and provide an example or 2 for each. We are going to learn the top algorithm’s running time that every developer should be familiar with. Knowing these time complexities will help you to assess if your code will scale. Also, it’s handy to compare multiple solutions for the same problem. By the end of it, you would be able to eyeball different implementations and know which one will perform better without running the code!
In the previous post, we saw how Alan Turing saved millions of lives with an optimized algorithm. In most cases, faster algorithms can save you time, money and enable new technology. So, this is paramount to know how to measure algorithms’ performance.
What is time complexity?
To recap time complexity estimates how an algorithm performs regardless of the kind of machine it runs on. You can get the time complexity by “counting” the number of operations performed by your code. This time complexity is defined as a function of the input size n using Big-O notation. n indicates the input size, while O is the worst-case scenario growth rate function.
Here are the big O cheatsheet and examples that we will cover in this post before we dive in. Click on them to go to the implementation. 😉
| Big O Notation | Name | Example(s) |
|---|---|---|
| O(1) | Constant | # Odd or Even number, # Look-up table (on average) |
| O(log n) | Logarithmic | # Finding element on sorted array with binary search |
| O(n) | Linear | # Find max element in unsorted array, # Duplicate elements in array with Hash Map |
| O(n log n) | Linearithmic | # Sorting elements in array with merge sort |
| O(n 2 ) | Quadratic | # Duplicate elements in array **(naïve)**, # Sorting array with bubble sort |
| O(n 3 ) | Cubic | # 3 variables equation solver |
| O(2 n ) | Exponential | # Find all subsets |
| O(n!) | Factorial | # Find all permutations of a given set/string |
Now, Let’s go one by one and provide code examples!
You can find all these implementations and more in the Github repo: https://github.com/amejiarosario/dsa.js

2. Space Complexity
Time Complexity: Time Complexity is defined as the number of times a particular instruction set is executed rather than the total time is taken. It is because the total time took also depends on some external factors like the compiler used, processor’s speed, etc.
Space Complexity: Space Complexity is the total memory space required by the program for its execution.
Both are calculated as the function of input size(n).
One important thing here is that in spite of these parameters the efficiency of an algorithm also depends upon the nature and size of the input.
