Time Complexity

This document summarizes common sorting algorithms and data structures, including their time and space complexities. It shows that sorting algorithms like quicksort, mergesort, and heapsort have average time complexities of O(n log n), while algorithms like bubblesort and selectionsort have worse average time complexities of O(n^2). Common data structures include arrays, linked lists, binary search trees, heaps and hash tables, with each having different complexities for operations like insertion, deletion, searching and more.
