    This document defines big-O notation for analyzing algorithms. It provides both an English definition and a formal mathematical definition. The English definition states that a function T(n) is O(f(n)) if T(n) is eventually bounded above by a constant multiple of f(n) as n increases. The formal definition specifies that T(n) = O(f(n)) if and only if there exist constants c and n0 such that T(n) ≤ c*f(n) for all n ≥ n0. It also warns that the constants c and n0 cannot depend on n.

    Big-Oh: English Deni(on


    Let T(n) = func(on on n = 1,2,3,
    [usually, the worst-case running (me of an algorithm]
    Q : When is T(n) = O(f(n)) ?
    A : if eventually (for all suciently large n), T(n) is bounded
    above by a constant mul(ple of f(n)
