Hi all,
Today we’ll talk about the Big-O-Notation. This is a topic that is commonly taught in universities, citing data structures as the unit of measurement. However, this very important topic isn’t taught to all developers and programmers.
If we are to be responsible developers, we have to understand what is Big-O-Notation. Why?

Hi all, after such a long time, I’ve finally managed to eek out some time to make this post.
Today, we’ll continue from where we left off previously. Before we begin, I’ll like to reiterate the importance of knowing the Big-O-Notation. This measurement helps measure the worst case performance of an algorithm.
It applies to all algorithms, not just data structures. We talk about it here for 2 reasons.
1) It’s easier to understand data structures since most of us use it in one ways or another
2) Selection of the right data structure is critical to the success of an application development.
Therefore let’s begin (or continue) … Read the rest of this entry »
Hi all,
Today I’m going to wrap up the Big-O-Notation with a summary of how to use, when to use and what to look out for in each of the data structures using the Big-O-Notation.
This, therefore will be a short article compared to the previous articles.
If you can’t stand the long and wordy explanations of the previous 2 articles, then this article will be much more useful and direct for your needs.
