Teaching complexity analysis in a data structures class can be done in a way that combines theory with real-life examples. The main goal is to help students really understand how complex algorithms work in everyday situations. Here’s a look at some of the best ways to teach this topic with helpful examples and case studies.

Real-World Case Studies

• Use examples from real life to show how data structures work.
• Think about things like social networks that look at user connections or web crawlers that browse the internet.
• Choose interesting topics or current events to keep students engaged and make learning relevant.

Project-Based Learning

• Let students work on projects where they use data structures and analyze complexity.
• Projects could include improving sorting methods, checking how well searches perform
