Frequently Asked Questions

What is Big O notation?

Big O notation is a mathematical way to describe how an algorithm's runtime or space requirements grow as the input size increases. It helps developers understand and compare algorithm efficiency.

Why is learning Big O important?

Understanding Big O notation is essential for writing efficient code and is a common topic in technical interviews at major tech companies. It helps you make better decisions about which algorithms and data structures to use.

Do I need programming experience?

Basic programming knowledge is helpful. You should be familiar with concepts like loops, functions, and basic data structures. Our practice tool shows code in multiple languages including JavaScript, Python, and Java.

How does the practice tool work?

You're shown a code snippet and asked to identify its time complexity. After answering, you receive instant feedback with a detailed explanation. The difficulty adapts to your skill level using an ELO rating system.
