Qvault’s Big O Algorithms Course
Learn Big O Algorithms
Learn by doing — A mix of multiple-choice questions and writing code to tackle each lesson’s coding challenge makes for faster learning than you would with videos.
Free tier — Free basic access to all lessons forever. We’ll even hook you up with Pro features on a 7-day free trial.
Learn Big O with Python — Python is one of the top paid and fastest-growing programming languages. Improve your Python skills while increasing your understanding of algorithmic complexity will make you a faster and more employable programmer.
Why should you learn Big O Algorithms?
Big O is the most important topic in algorithms, and will make your algorithms faster, leaner, and better.
Whether you need to brush up on your big O skills for a coding interview or to take on a project at work, or need to test your own algorithms for efficiency or complexity, our big O course teaches you everything you need to know about big O, as you code in Python and complete our coding lessons and multiple-choice questions.
Stack Overflow’s 2020 report on Python:
$120,000 average salary
Growing in popularity — Most used language for AI and machine learning
Loved by coders — 3rd most loved language
We love Python because it is:
Simple & quick to learn — Python reads like English and lets you get to the meat of the logic faster
Modern — Python 3 is the latest version and it’s what we teach in all our courses
Attractive to employers — Python is still on the rise year over year with more and more companies on board

Frequently Asked Questions
Interested in upgrading to get full access to our Big O Algorithms course, but unsure what that entails?
What’s the difference between Basic and Pro?
A Basic account is, well, basic. You can demo Pro features on the first 6 exercises of each course (such as our Big O Algorithms course). But after that, if you’re on a Basic plan, you’ll only be able to read the course material and play in the code sandbox. You won’t get access to feedback on your code know if you got the right answers.
Qvault Pro has everything in Basic, plus all the advanced tools, content, solutions, and certifications that you need to make your learning faster.
A Pro account lets you practice much more efficiently by getting instant verification of all your code solutions. If you get stuck, you can use the “cheat” feature to take a look at the solution and quickly see what’s holding you up.
Additionally, one of the biggest benefits our Pro subscribers get is access to free certificates of completion when they finish a course. Showing off your work to employers is a quick way to get that high-paying tech job

Do you offer any discounts?
Our top priority is improving the courses, the app, and your experience — so your feedback is super valuable to us.
If you’re happy to help us keep improving our courses to be the best they can be, we’re currently offering a 25% discount to anyone who completes this feedback form. When you’re finished with the survey you’ll be given a coupon code!
Do I need to know how to code in Python or about Big O Notation and Algorithms before signing up?
Our Big O Algorithms course was designed for users to complete lessons coding in Python.
The course starts from the basics of what an algorithm is, how logarithms work, as well as explaining the basics of big O notation. So even beginners should be able to complete the course and move on to the more challenging aspects once they understand these basics.
If you want to learn how to code in Python first, we recommend you first take our Python Fundamentals course.
Why should I upgrade to Qvault Pro?
I built Qvault based on the lessons I’ve been learning as a technical hiring manager, so everything we do here is designed to take you from your current level, and get you an eventual high-paying programming job. If you’re ready to accelerate your learning and apply your skills to real-world scenarios, then Qvault Pro is for you.
Aside from the direct benefits, if you like what we’re building here at Qvault, your support helps us improve the platform.
How easy is it to cancel my subscription if I don’t like it?
We do our best to be transparent about pricing, and never want anyone keeping a subscription they don’t use. You can cancel your subscription any time from your settings page and you won’t be billed again.
