Constant Time Complexity O(1) describes operations or algorithms that take the same amount of time to execute, no matter the size of the input. It’s the fastest time complexity because it remains unaffected by how large or small the input is.

Key Characteristics

In an Algorithm with O(1) time complexity:

  • Fixed Steps: The algorithm performs a constant number of steps, independent of the input size.
  • Common Use: This complexity type appears frequently in simple operations that don’t involve iteration over the input, such as lookups or single computations.
