Hey Ferit,

Thanks for your feedback and interesting input! I'd like to point out my main idea of writing this article. I had 2 primary type of readers in mind: either someone encounters Big O for the first time, or someone needs to refresh their memory. I wanted to put comprehensive emphasis on the main parts while keeping it as simple as possible.

I have also considered diving into the details of complexity analysis as well. But I have realized something. If I also include them, it won't be an article for beginners first ride or a memory refresher anymore. It would be unfair if I expect a beginner to understand Big O and it's complexities, then be able to make detailed analysis at the end of a single article.

That's why I decided to spare complexity analysis part for another article instead. I will be updating this article with a link to it when it is ready.

I'm quite certain that was obvious from the tone of the article, but thanks for clarifying...
