Big O notation is a fundamental concept in computer science used to describe the performance or complexity of an algorithm. At a high level, it provides a standardized way to talk about how an algorithm's runtime or space requirements grow as the input size increases. This allows for a comparison of algorithms based on their efficiency, particularly how they scale with larger inputs. Understanding Big O notation is crucial for anyone involved in software development, as it helps in writing more efficient and scalable code.
