How do we determine how efficient (fast) and algorithm is?
Key Idea:
The running time of an algorithm depends on the size of the problem it's solving.

Big O: Formal Definition
? Let T(n) ? the number of operations performed in an algorithm as a function of n.
? T(n) O(f(n)) if and only if there exists two constants, n0 > 0 and c > 0 and a function f(n) such that for all n > n0, cf(n) T(n).

How long does it take to - say "California" and then - fly to California
The time to fly to California (roughly 6 hours) dominates the time to say "California", so we ignore the time to say "California".

Big-O notation
Let n be the size of the problem (input):
Time(n) = 4n + 9 = O(n) Time(n) = 2n2 ? 4n + 1 = O(n2)
Time(n) = log3(n) = O(log n) Time(n) = 3n = O(3n), not O(2n)!
There is no c that satisfies c.2n 3n for arbitrarily large n.

More on Big O
? Big O gives us an upper-bound approximation on the complexity of a computation.
? That is, think of Big O as " ................
