These concepts basically give you one way of describing how the time it takes to run your function

grows as the size of the input grows.

To see what I mean by that exactly, let's take a look at a few examples here.

First of all, let's say you are given an array like this and let's say that this array could be of any lengths.

It could be one hundred elements long, a thousand elements long or even one hundred thousand elements.

And let's say you want to write a function that takes this array and returns the sum of all the numbers in this array.

So, in your function you wanna add up all the numbers of this array and returns the sum.

And that function might look like this function right here and I'm gonna use pseudocode here to write this function.

So, first of all let's define our function that gonna be called find sum which is going to take given array

as input and then inside this function first of all we gonna initialize a variable called

total to 0 and then for each i in this given array or for each number total to 0
