Lecture 3 - Best, Average And Worst case Time Complexities | DSA Basics For Beginners & Placement
Welcome to Lecture 3 - Best, Average And Worst case Time Complexities of our DSA Placement Course. In this lecture, we will get an understanding of Best, Average And Worst case Time Complexities and how to implement them in coding.
What are the types of Asymptotic Notations in Complexity Analysis of Algorithms?
The three most common types of asymptotic notation are big O (O), little o (o) and Theta notation (Θ). Big O notation describes the worst-case scenario when the size of inputs grows infinitely large. Little o notation measures how close two functions get to each other as the size of input approaches infinity.
Which is the best time complexity?
O(1): Constant time complexity — Most efficient time complexity because input size does not affect the algorithm's performance. O(log n): Logarithmic complexity. O(n): Linear complexity — Most common because input size is directly proportional to the algorithm's performance.
What is the best worst and average case of sorting?
Classification. Best, worst and average case behaviour in terms of the size of the list. For typical serial sorting algorithms, good behaviour is O(n log n), with parallel sort in O(log2 n), and bad behaviour is O(n2). The ideal behaviour for a serial sort is O(n), but this is not possible in the average case.
What is the time complexity best average and worst case in linear search?
The time complexity of linear search is O(1) in the best case, O(n) in the average case, and O(n) in the worst case.
Which search has the best time complexity?
As a result, the best-case scenario's time complexity for linear search is O(1), indicating continuous time complexity. This suggests that if the target value is at the beginning, the search will be finished in a single step regardless of the list size.
