Big-O Notation Cheat Sheet

Description

Big-O Notation Cheat Sheet

This cheat sheet shows the  Big-O time and space complexities (runtime analysis) of common algorithms used in the computer science field. You can see which collection type or sorting algorithm to use at a glance to write the most efficient code. This is also useful for those studying Computer Science in University or for technical interview tests where Big-O notation questions can be fairly common depending on the type of company you are apply to.
Knowing how to write efferent code using Big-O notation will help you prevent accumulating technical debt and can save you time and money in the long run. Perfect gift for your programming student or friend.
This quick guide cheat sheet gives the time and space complexity for the following data structures:

• Basic Array
• Dynamic Array
• Singly-Linked List
• Doubly-Linked List
• Skip List
• Hash Table
• Binary Search Tree
• Sorted Array Using Binary Search
• Cartesian Tree
• Splay Tree
• Red-Black Tree
• AVL Tree
• B-Tree

In addition to giving the time and space complexity this cheat sheet also has links to the data structures so you can learn more about how they work and are implemented beyond the runtime analysis!
