problems of naive way of analyzing algorithms. In this post‚ we will take an example of Linear Search and analyze it using asymptotic analysis. We can have three cases to analyze an algorithm: 1) Worst Case 2) Average Case 3) Best Case WORST CASE ANALYSIS (USUALLY DONE): In the worst case analysis‚ we calculate upper bound on running time of an algorithm. We must know the case that causes maximum number of operations to be executed. For Linear Search‚ the worst case happens when the
