Something I didn't really understand enough while I was studying is that an education is very little to do with what you learn, and more about learning how to learn and interact with people, and certifying that you can learn. A large portion of the stuff you learn will be obsolete within a few years, while learning how to learn and work with other people will serve you for life. Not to undermine the compliment to the poster though, this video, and probably the channel are indeed useful :)

It's incorrect to say that Big O usually thinks about the worst case. He did use the word "usually" but did not clear it up. Asymptotic notations are a mathematical concept to generalize the way a function is expressed by writing it in terms of a more general function, doing this makes it easy to compare different functions. Big O is one way to do that. It is used to denote an upper bound to a given function. So it doesn't really have anything to do with the worst case or best case of an algorithm's performance.

THIS WAS PERFECT. I was self-studying from a textbook and was wayyyy to confused, so I did a quick search on youtube and found this video. Easy. Simple. Concise. You covered everything so perfectly and actually helped me understand the topic. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Please continue making videos like this!!!
Every computer science professor I've ever had didn't explain this concept as simply and concisely as you just did. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the explanation! I've been searching all day to find a good video until I'd found yours. Again great explanation, and I love how you got straight to the point.
I think this is one of the best videos I have seen. I hate how most videos won't just bother to show with an actual function or dummy code.
I've watched a dozen videos on complexity theory, P vs NP and Big-O notation and you are THE FIRST to give examples with a breakdown. Bravo good sir. I doff my cap to you.
After 1 hour videos, I cannot believe how much this helped me finally understand this topic. I'm in awe.

I read multiple articles about this topic but you are the only one that I can understand. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Michael, that was a really concise and great explanation! This video helped me finally wrap my head around these basic concepts!
My professor did such a heinous job teaching this subject for my Data Structures course, and yet you taught me what I needed to know in five minutes... Thank you sir.
Im amazed by the simplicity of your content. You really drown out all the unnecessary stuff and hit the nail on right on its head
You are a genius. Thanks for the first time in 6 years I understand this.
This is so far the best video that I cam across about Big O. Thank you Michael

Instead of the big long videos, you made this concept clear and easy to understand, all KZread videos should be like this. I don't know why professors always tends to go very deep very early. Which is absolute not needed for beginner students
What an amazing video! Your teaching skills and presentation skills are amazing.
Learned more from this 5 minute vid than several hours in discrete structures class...
I think you explain this better than the author of cracking the code interview. Great job!
thanks michael! very clear and brief while still defining key terms. super useful
I love your videos, dude. Simple and short but still educational
