Time Complexity Distribution of Leetcode Solutions

Distribution

By analyzing the time complexities of Leetcode solutions, we can gain insights into the most common patterns and optimize our own code accordingly.

The following chart shows the distribution of time complexities for solutions of Leetcode problems:

Method

• Only the optimized solutions of Leetcode problems were considered
• Only the 6 most common time complexities were included in the analysis
• The time complexity of 499 Leetcode problems were analyzed in total

Observations

• Most leetcode solutions have an optimal time complexity of O(n)
• An expensive time complexity of O(n²) may mean that the solution is suboptimal
• Don't read too much into this data, it's mostly for fun!
