Explain Big-O notation with an example
The Big-O notation depicts the performance of an algorithm as the number of elements in ArrayList. A developer can use Big-O notation to choose the collection implementation. It is based on performance, time, and memory.
 
For example, ArrayList get(index i) is a method to perform a constant-time operation. It does not depend on the total number of elements available in the list. Therefore, the performance in Big-O notation is O(1).
