Worst-case complexity

Worst-case complexity refers to the maximum amount of time or space an algorithm can take to complete, given the worst possible input of a given size. It provides an upper bound on the resources required, ensuring that the algorithm will not exceed this limit regardless of the specific input. This concept is crucial for computer scientists and software engineers who need to guarantee performance and resource usage in the most demanding scenarios.
