3 Bird s eye view I this chapter We review asymptotic otatios: O, Ω, Θ, o The otatios are for makig statemet about program performace whe the iput data is large Big-Oh O is the most popular asymptotic otatio Asymptotic otatios will be itroduced i both iformal ad rigorous maer

5 Itroductio (1/ Reasos to determie operatio cout ad step cout To predict the growth i ru time To compare the time complexities of two programs Facts of the previous two approaches The operatio cout method igores all others except key operatios The step cout method overcome the above shortage, but the otio of step is iexact xy ad xy+z+(y/z treated as a same step? Two aalysts may arrive at 4 + ad for the same program Asymptotic aalysis focuses o determiig the biggest terms (but ot their coefficiet i the complexity fuctio. 5

11 Asymptotic Notatio: Big Oh f ( O( lim 0 or Costat C f( is big oh of f ( The above otatio meas that f( is asymptotically smaller tha or equal to, multiplied by some costat C gives a asymptotic upper boud for f( The otatio gives o clue to the value of this costat C, it oly states that it exists 11
