Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the space complexity of an array of size n?
  • Step 1: Understand what an array is. An array is a collection of items stored at contiguous memory locations.
  • Step 2: Know that the size of the array is denoted by 'n', which means it can hold 'n' elements.
  • Step 3: Realize that each element in the array takes up a certain amount of space in memory.
  • Step 4: Since there are 'n' elements in the array, the total space required is proportional to 'n'.
  • Step 5: In big O notation, we express this as O(n), which means the space grows linearly with the number of elements.
