Time Complexity
While programming allows us to create virtually anything, the true test of performance arises when we deploy the same code on a significantly larger scale. Time Complexity ($T(n)$) is a function that estimates the execution time of an algorithm given the amount of data to be processed as its input ($n$). It is a common benchmark used to measure an algorithm’s performance. Bounds of Time Complexity The output of the time complexity function will be a close estimate of an algorithm’s runtime given the size of its input but it does not consider other characteristics of the input that could affect its runtime....
