Data Structures and Algorithms The Complete Masterclass - Big O(n!) Complexity

The video tutorial discusses the rare and complex O of North factorial complexity. It explains that this complexity is almost impossible to encounter in practical coding scenarios due to its nature of adding a nested loop for every element in an array, leading to exponential time increase. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of being aware of this complexity, despite its impracticality, as it represents the worst-case scenario in terms of scalability. The lecture concludes by reinforcing the need for awareness rather than in-depth study of this complexity.

What is the main reason O(N!) complexity is considered impractical?

• It is commonly used in everyday applications.

• It is easy to implement.

• It involves a high number of nested loops.

• It requires a lot of memory.

How does O(N!) complexity affect the time taken by an algorithm?

• Time increases significantly with each additional item.

• Time decreases with fewer nested loops.

• Time remains constant regardless of the number of items.

• Time decreases as the number of items increases.

What does O(N!) complexity imply for each element in an array?

• Each element requires a single loop.

• Each element is processed independently.

• Each element adds a nested loop.

• Each element reduces the overall complexity.

Why is it important to be aware of O(N!) complexity?

• It is the most efficient complexity for large datasets.

• It is frequently used in coding interviews.

• It represents the best-case scenario for algorithms.

• It is the worst-case scenario and helps in understanding algorithm limits.

Which of the following is true about encountering O(N!) complexity in real-world applications?

• It is commonly encountered in everyday coding tasks.

• It is almost impossible to encounter.

• It is the most efficient complexity for sorting algorithms.

• It is frequently used in machine learning models.
