Big O And Complexity Analysis

Asymptotic analysis — time/space complexity, amortized analysis, the skill underlying every other folder here.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Without this, 'which data structure/algorithm' is guesswork instead of reasoned tradeoffs — and it's the first thing an interviewer probes when you propose a solution.

When to use this

Before choosing between two approaches to any problem, and any time you're asked to justify a solution's performance in an interview.

How to use or implement this

Practice stating Big-O for a solution out loud, unprompted, as you write it — not as an afterthought when asked.

Research questions

  • Which of Localz's actual hot paths (booking search, dispatch matching) would benefit from a documented complexity budget?
