Data structures time complexity cheat sheet

  • How do you calculate time complexity in data structure?

    the time complexity of this algorithm is constant, so T(n) = O(1) .
    In order to calculate time complexity on an algorithm, it is assumed that a constant time c is taken to execute one operation, and then the total operations for an input length on N are calculated..

  • How do you measure complexity for any data structure?

    To calculate the complexity of a data structure, you need to consider the worst-case, best-case, and average-case scenarios for each operation..

  • Is O log n faster than O 1?

    Sometimes, O(log n) will outperform O(1) but as the input size 'n' increases, O(log n) will take more time than the execution of O(1)..

  • What is the big 0 complexity?

    Big O Notation is a tool used to describe the time complexity of algorithms.
    It calculates the time taken to run an algorithm as the input grows.
    In other words, it calculates the worst-case time complexity of an algorithm.
    Big O Notation in Data Structure describes the upper bound of an algorithm's runtime..

  • What is the time complexity of a set data structure?

    Set is implemented as a balanced tree structure making it possible to maintain order between the elements (by specific tree traversal).
    The unordered_set is implemented as hash tables as we don't have to worry about any order.
    The time complexity of set operations is O(log n)..

  • Which data structure has the best time complexity?

    Singly Linked listO(1)O(1)Doubly Linked ListO(1)O(1)Hash TableO(1)O(1)Binary Search TreeO(log n)O(log n).

  • Sometimes, O(log n) will outperform O(1) but as the input size 'n' increases, O(log n) will take more time than the execution of O(1).
  • The only thing we can say for sure is that nlogn algorithm outperforms n2 algorithm for sufficiently large n.
    In practice, all nlogn algorithms have low enough multipliers that n2 algorithm can be quicker only for very small n (and for very small n, it usually doesn't matter what algorithm is used).
Following are the key time and space complexities:
  • Constant: O(1)
  • Linear time: O(n)
  • Logarithmic time: O(n log n)
  • Quadratic time: O(n^2)
  • Exponential time: 2 ^(n)
  • Factorial time: O(n!)
