Space Complexity

Space complexity

Space complexity is the amount of memory required to solve a computational problem, including input and auxiliary space. It is usually expressed asymptotically in big O notation, such as O(n), O(nlog n), O(nα), O(2n), etc., where n is a characteristic of the input.
