I hear a lot of people shouting big O notation and I understand is relevance, however you can also explain the price you pay for certain algorithms and it's "expensive" without referring to big O, or log n, and etc. for example you could say this algorithm is efficient but if the length of a array Is n is a costly matter meaning this takes O(n) or in lamen terms a long process because of the length of the array and how long the process might take
