1. Big O asymptotic analysis
1. What is good code? Readability : How easily humans can understand, modify, and maintain a piece of code. Scalability: How well the code can handle increased load and complexity. Big O, a shorthand for Big O asymptotic analysis, measures the scalability of code. Scalability consists of runtime and memory. There is usally a trade-off between runtime and memory. In this post, we introduce the Big O notation in terms of runtime and look at how to measure the space complexity of an algorithm at the end. ...
