When approaching a problem, understanding the constraints is crucial to determining the most efficient algorithm.
Constraints help us infer the feasible time complexity for an acceptable solution.
This guide will help you understand how to “guess” the solution by examining constraints and providing examples of common time complexities along with suitable algorithms.
Common Time Complexities and Constraints
Let n be the main variable in the problem.
