What is the Big O notation?

The Big O notation is a mathematical notation used in computer science to describe the performance or complexity of an algorithm. It represents the upper bound or worst-case scenario of the time or space complexity of an algorithm in terms of the input size. It helps in analyzing and comparing the efficiency of different algorithms and allows us to make informed decisions when choosing the most suitable algorithm for a given problem.
