Asymptotic Analysis Big-Oh: Definition: Design and Analysis of Algorithms I

Big-Oh notation is used to describe the asymptotic worst-case time complexity of algorithms as the input size grows. It formally defines an upper bound on the growth rate of a function. Specifically, an algorithm is said to run in O(f(n)) time if the number of steps it performs for inputs of size n is at most a constant times f(n) for n sufficiently large.
