What is the difference between Big O and Little o notation?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Big O notation describes an upper bound on the time complexity of an algorithm, while Little o notation describes a strict upper bound.

You

Can you give me an example of each?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! For Big O, O(n) means the algorithm's time grows linearly with input size. For Little o, o(n) means it grows slower than linear, like n/2.

You

When should I use Big O vs Little o?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Use Big O when you want to express the worst-case scenario. Use Little o for more precise analysis when the growth rate is strictly less.

You

Are there other notations I should know about?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Yes, there's also Big Theta (Θ) for tight bounds and Big Omega (Ω) for lower bounds. Each serves a different purpose in analysis.
