Amortized Analysis
Explore amortized analysis to learn how to evaluate the average time complexity of algorithms with infrequent slow operations. This lesson uses array resizing as an example to demonstrate how total algorithm runtime can be optimized beyond worst-case scenarios, helping you analyze complexity effectively for programming contests.

This is used for algorithms where only a few of the operations are slow. We need to prove that the worst case of the entire algorithm is lower than the worst case of ...
