COVER // CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT O(N) TIME COMPLEXITY MEANS AND PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF AN ALGORITHM THAT HAS THIS COMPLEXITY?

O(n) time complexity indicates that the running time of an algorithm increases linearly with the size of the input data. An example of an O(n) algorithm is a simple for loop that iterates through an array to find a specific value.
