Most of the algorithms we use in our standard libraries are in the Big-O sweet spot.

[Software as Craft @sc_philly]

“Big-O is a measure of time complexity. Roughly how many computations will an algorithm perform” - @isabanin

[Software as Craft @sc_philly]

As programs get more complex and we nest looping operations, Big-O gives us the a way to understand the impact on the amount of time it takes to perform an operation

[Software as Craft @sc_philly]

An intro to big o for every developer! Thanks @isabanin

[NextPlex / Philly @nplexPHL]
