Python Complexity Cheat Sheet 🚀

📢 New GitHub Repo: Python Complexity Cheat Sheet 🚀

Okay, Let's come to the point (introduction at the end 🤘)

Hey Developers! 👋

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve created a comprehensive Python Complexity Cheat Sheet 🐍 for all the coders out there who want to write efficient and optimized Python code. This cheat sheet is designed to help you understand the average and worst-case complexities of operations across Python’s built-in data structures.

🔗 Repository Link:

👉 Python Complexity Cheat Sheet


💡 Why Did I Create This Repo?

Understanding the time complexity of operations is essential for writing scalable applications. Python’s built-in data structures like lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples are powerful but knowing their performance under different operations can make a huge difference.

This repo:

  • Summarizes complexities of common operations (e.g., append, pop, sort, etc.).
  • Covers lists, dictionaries, sets, tuples, and strings.
  • Is beginner-friendly and easy to reference during coding. ✅

📂 What’s Inside?

Here’s a sneak peek into what you’ll find in the repo:

  1. Lists:

    • Operations like append, pop, remove, sort, and more.
    • Complexity tables for quick reference.
  2. Dictionaries:

    • Key-based operations (get, pop, setdefault) and iteration performance.
  3. Sets:

    • Methods like add, remove, union, intersection, and their costs.
  4. Tuples:

    • Immutable operations and their complexities.
  5. Strings:

    • Performance of slicing, searching, and concatenation.
  6. Overview:

    • A high-level summary comparing all data structures.

📖 How to Use This Repo?

  1. Clone the repo:
   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/python-complexity-cheatsheet.git
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Bookmark it for quick reference during coding. ⭐️

🙌 Contributions Welcome!

If you find this repo helpful, feel free to:

  • Give it a ⭐️ on GitHub.
  • Share it with fellow developers.
  • Submit a pull request if you spot improvements or want to add more content.

🌟 Bonus Repo Coming Soon!

I’m also working on a Python DS Methods and Properties Cheat Sheet, where you’ll find all the essential methods and properties for Python’s data structures. Stay tuned! 🔥

Okay, I did it here it is -> Python DS Methods and Properties Cheat Sheet


Let’s write efficient Python code together! 🐍✨
