Master Algorithm Complexity with This Big‑O Cheat Sheet

Complexity is usually expressed with big‑O notation, e.g., quicksort’s average time complexity is O(n log n). Even after understanding algorithms and data structures, it’s easy to forget specific complexities for best, worst, and average cases, so a quick reference sheet is useful.

Before implementing, it’s good to check if a ready‑made solution exists; indeed, the original cheat sheet was found.
