Answer from AI

Main types of algorithm complexity assessment:

  • Time complexity — shows how the execution time changes depending on input size. Usually expressed in Big O notation (O(n), O(log n), O(n²), etc.).

  • Space complexity — estimates how much memory the algorithm requires as input size grows.

  • Amortized complexity — average complexity of operations over a sequence, considering rare expensive operations.

  • Worst, best, and average cases — analyzed to understand the algorithm's behavior in different situations.

Example: insertion sort has a worst-case time complexity of O(n²) and best-case O(n).
