Data Structure - Performance and Time Complexity

Java Collections – Performance (Time Complexity)

Details of available data structures and their time complexity and performance of the various data structures, in terms of time.

We will discuss about most basic data structures, typically, Array, Map and Linked List.

Before we start you most learn about -

Big O notation - it describes how the time to do a given task grows with the size of the input
O(1) - constant time
O(xn) - exponential time

The following chart summarizes the growth in complexity due to growth of input (n). In our data structure walk-through we sometimes use the symbol h to signify the Hash Table capacity.





List

A list is an ordered collection of elements.
