Big-O Notation: First Principles
A public excerpt from the current Peras sample matrix showing a first-principles path into Big-O notation.
We've compared algorithms case by case, weighing performance in simple scenarios. Now it's time to step back and see the whole landscape. Instead of judging each new algorithm from scratch, we want a mental model: something we can carry with us, a framework that groups similar behaviors, reveals structural patterns, and lets us make quick, reliable predictions.
