You use time complexity and space complexity functions to compare the algorithm to others of a similar nature (one sorting algorithm to another sorting algorithm, for example).

Design algorithms and analyze their complexity in terms of running time and space usage; Create applications that are supported by highly efficient algorithms and data structures for the task at hand; ...

Recall that O(1) is pronounced “Big Oh of 1.” (See Part 1 for a reminder of how time and space complexity measurements are used to evaluate data structures.) Inserting nodes into a singly ...

I see it time and again in Google interviews or new-grad hires: The way data structures and algorithms — among the most important subjects in a proper computer science curriculum — are learnt ...
