## 💡 TL;DR

**Problem**: You refactor some code and accidentally turn O(n) into O(n²), but your tests pass. It ships to production and slows down as data grows.

**Solution**: `bigocheck` empirically measures your function's time/space complexity across input sizes and alerts you *before* merge.

**Who**: Python developers who care about performance, maintainers of libraries/APIs, and teams running algorithmic code in production.

```python
from bigocheck import benchmark_function

def accidental_quadratic(n):
    result = []
    for x in range(n):
        if x not in result:  # 🐛 O(n) lookup on list!
            result.append(x)
    return result

analysis = benchmark_function(accidental_quadratic, sizes=[100, 1000, 5000])
print(analysis.best_label)  # O(n²) ⚠️ Regression detected!
```

**Key Value**:
- ✅ **Zero Dependencies** - No numpy, scipy, or matplotlib required
- ✅ **CLI-First** - Use in CI/CD without writing code
- ✅ **Production Ready** - 116/116 tests passing, v0.8.0

---

## 📚 Feature Guide

### 1️⃣ Basic Benchmarking

Measure a function's complexity across input sizes.

```python
from bigocheck import benchmark_function

def bubble_sort(n):
    arr = list(range(n, 0, -1))
    for i in range(len(arr)):
        for j in range(len(arr) - 1):
            if arr[j] > arr[j + 1]:
                arr[j], arr[j + 1] = arr[j + 1], arr[j]
    return arr

analysis = benchmark_function(bubble_sort, sizes=[100, 200, 400, 800], trials=2)
print(f"Best fit: {analysis.best_label}")  # O(n^2)

for fit in analysis.fits[:3]:
    print(f"  {fit.label}: error={fit.error:.4f}")
```

---

### 2️⃣ Complexity Assertions (CI/CD Testing)

Assert that functions have expected complexity. Perfect for CI/CD pipelines.

```python
from bigocheck import assert_complexity, ComplexityAssertionError

@assert_complexity("O(n)", sizes=[100, 500, 1000])
def linear_sum(n):
    return sum(range(n))

# First call triggers verification
linear_sum(10)  # Passes silently

# If complexity is wrong, raises ComplexityAssertionError
@assert_complexity("O(1)")  # Wrong!
def actually_linear(n):
    return sum(range(n))

try:
    actually_linear(10)
except ComplexityAssertionError as e:
    print(f"Caught: {e}")
```

---

### 3️⃣ Bounds Verification

Verify complexity without decorators.

```python
from bigocheck import verify_bounds

def my_sort(arr):
    return sorted(arr)

# Verify using wrapper
def test_wrapper(n):
    return my_sort(list(range(n)))

result = verify_bounds(test_wrapper, sizes=[1000, 5000, 10000], expected="O(n log n)")

if result.passes:
    print(f"✓ Verified: {result.expected}")
else:
    print(f"✗ Expected {result.expected}, got {result.actual}")
    
print(f"Confidence: {result.confidence} ({result.confidence_score:.0%})")
```

---

### 4️⃣ Confidence Scoring

Know how reliable your results are.

```python
from bigocheck import benchmark_function, compute_confidence

analysis = benchmark_function(my_func, sizes=[100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000])
confidence = compute_confidence(analysis)

print(f"Confidence: {confidence.level} ({confidence.score:.0%})")
print("Reasons:")
for reason in confidence.reasons:
    print(f"  - {reason}")
```

Output:
```
Confidence: high (85%)
Reasons:
  - Clear gap between fits (0.234)
  - Low best-fit error (0.012)
  - Good measurement count (5)
  - Good size spread (ratio 100.0)
```

---

### 5️⃣ A/B Comparison

Compare two implementations head-to-head.

```python
from bigocheck import compare_functions

def linear_search(n):
    arr = list(range(n))
    return n - 1 in arr

def binary_search(n):
    arr = list(range(n))
    target = n - 1
    lo, hi = 0, len(arr) - 1
    while lo <= hi:
        mid = (lo + hi) // 2
        if arr[mid] == target:
            return True
        elif arr[mid] < target:
            lo = mid + 1
        else:
            hi = mid - 1
    return False

result = compare_functions(
    linear_search,
    binary_search,
    sizes=[1000, 5000, 10000, 50000],
)

print(result.summary)
# "binary_search is 15.23x faster than linear_search overall (4/4 sizes)"

print(f"Complexities: {result.func_a_label} vs {result.func_b_label}")
# "Complexities: O(n) vs O(log n)"
```

---

### 6️⃣ Report Generation

Generate beautiful markdown reports.

```python
from bigocheck import benchmark_function, generate_report, save_report

analysis = benchmark_function(my_func, sizes=[100, 500, 1000, 5000])
report = generate_report(analysis, title="My Analysis Report")

print(report)  # Print to console
save_report(report, "analysis_report.md")  # Save to file
```

**Comparison reports:**
```python
from bigocheck import compare_functions, generate_comparison_report

result = compare_functions(func_a, func_b, sizes=[100, 500, 1000])
report = generate_comparison_report(result)
save_report(report, "comparison.md")
```

**Verification reports:**
```python
from bigocheck import verify_bounds, generate_verification_report

result = verify_bounds(my_func, sizes=[100, 500], expected="O(n)")
report = generate_verification_report(result)
```

---

### 7️⃣ Auto Size Selection

Let bigocheck choose optimal input sizes automatically.

```python
from bigocheck import auto_select_sizes, benchmark_function

# Automatically find good sizes
sizes = auto_select_sizes(my_func, target_time=3.0, min_sizes=5)
print(f"Selected sizes: {sizes}")

# Use the auto-selected sizes
analysis = benchmark_function(my_func, sizes=sizes)
```

---

### 8️⃣ pytest Integration

Use the pytest plugin for testing.

```python
# In your test file
import pytest
from bigocheck.pytest_plugin import ComplexityChecker

def test_with_fixture(complexity_checker):
    def my_func(n):
        return sum(range(n))
    
    result = complexity_checker.check(my_func, expected="O(n)")
    assert result.passes, result.message

def test_with_assertion(complexity_checker):
    def my_func(n):
        return sum(range(n))
    
    # Raises ComplexityAssertionError if fails
    complexity_checker.assert_complexity(my_func, "O(n)")
```

**Register the plugin in conftest.py:**
```python
pytest_plugins = ["bigocheck.pytest_plugin"]
```

---

### 9️⃣ Data Generators

Use built-in data generators for testing.

```python
from bigocheck import benchmark_function
from bigocheck.datagen import integers, sorted_integers, arg_factory_for

def my_sort(arr):
    return sorted(arr)

# Benchmark with random integer lists
analysis = benchmark_function(
    my_sort,
    sizes=[1000, 5000, 10000],
    arg_factory=arg_factory_for(integers),
)
```

**Available generators:**

| Generator | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `n_(n)` | Returns N itself |
| `range_n(n)` | Returns `range(n)` |
| `integers(n, lo, hi)` | Random integers |
| `floats(n, lo, hi)` | Random floats |

# |------|----------|---------|--------|
# | 100 | 0.000010 | ±0.000001 | - |
```

---

### 2️⃣6️⃣ Threshold Alerts

Alert when complexity exceeds acceptable thresholds (great for CI/CD).

```python
from bigocheck import check_threshold, assert_threshold, monitor_complexity

analysis = benchmark_function(my_func, sizes=[100, 500, 1000])

# Check against threshold
result = check_threshold(analysis, max_complexity="O(n log n)")
if not result.passed:
    print(f"❌ {result.message}")

# Use as decorator
@assert_threshold("O(n)")
def my_algorithm(n):
    return sum(range(n))

my_algorithm(100)  # Raises ComplexityThresholdError if O(n) exceeded

# Monitor with warnings
analysis = monitor_complexity(
    my_func,
    sizes=[100, 500, 1000],
    max_complexity="O(n)",
    on_exceed="warn"  # or "error" or "ignore"
)
```

---

### 2️⃣7️⃣ Complexity Explanations

Get human-readable explanations of complexity classes.

**CLI:**
```bash
bigocheck explain "O(n log n)"
```

**Library:**
```python
from bigocheck import explain_complexity

print(explain_complexity("O(n log n)"))
```

**Output:**
```
O(n log n) - Linearithmic

Description: Slightly more than linear, common in efficient sorting.
Example: Merge sort, heap sort, quick sort (average)
Scaling: Good - optimal for comparison-based sorting
Real World: Sorting a playlist by song name
```

---

### 2️⃣8️⃣ Input Size Recommendations

Get smart suggestions for input sizes based on function speed.

**CLI:**
```bash
bigocheck recommend --target mymodule:my_func
```

**Library:**
```python
from bigocheck import suggest_sizes, format_recommendation

rec = suggest_sizes(my_func, time_budget=1.0)
print(format_recommendation(rec))
```

**Output:**
```
Input Size Recommendation
========================
Sizes: [1000, 2500, 5000, 10000, 25000, 50000, 100000]
Reason: Very fast function - using larger input sizes.
Estimated Time: 0.4s
Confidence: high
```

---

### 2️⃣9️⃣ Multi-Algorithm Comparison

Compare multiple algorithms at once and rank them.

**CLI:**
```bash
bigocheck compare --targets mymodule:bubble_sort mymodule:quick_sort --sizes 100 500 1000
```

**Library:**
```python
from bigocheck import compare_algorithms

result = compare_algorithms(
    {"bubble_sort": bubble_sort, "quick_sort": quick_sort},
    sizes=[100, 500, 1000],
)
print(result.summary_table)
```

**Output:**
```
Algorithm Comparison Summary
======================================================================

Rank   Algorithm            Time Complexity Avg Time    
----------------------------------------------------------------------
🥇 1   quick_sort           O(log n)        0.000002s
🥈 2   bubble_sort          O(n^2)          0.000649s

Winner (by complexity): quick_sort (O(log n))
```

---

### 3️⃣0️⃣ Bounds Checking

Assert that complexity falls within a specific range (e.g., at least O(1) but no worse than O(n)).

```python
from bigocheck import check_bounds, assert_bounds

# Manual check
result = check_bounds(analysis, lower="O(1)", upper="O(n)")
print(result.message)
# ✓ Complexity in bounds: O(1) ≤ O(log n) ≤ O(n)

# Decorator assertion
@assert_bounds(lower="O(1)", upper="O(n)")
def fast_func(n):
    return sum(range(n))
```

---

### 3️⃣1️⃣ Benchmark Profiles

Use preset configurations for common scenarios.

```python
from bigocheck import benchmark_with_profile, profile_decorator

# Use a preset profile
analysis = benchmark_with_profile(my_func, profile="accurate")
# Profiles: fast, balanced, accurate, thorough, large, small

# Decorator usage
@profile_decorator("fast")
def check_me(n):
    pass

check_me(100)  # Prints: 📊 check_me: O(1)
```

---

### 3️⃣2️⃣ Auto Documentation

Automatically generate docstrings with empirical complexity.

```python
from bigocheck import document_complexity

@document_complexity()
def my_sort(n):
    """Sorts a list of n elements."""
    return sorted(range(n))

my_sort(100)  # Runs benchmark on first call
print(my_sort.__doc__)
```

**Output:**
```
Sorts a list of n elements.

Complexity:
    Time: O(n log n)

Note:
    Complexity measured empirically by bigocheck.
```

---

### 3️⃣3️⃣ Hybrid AI-Assisted Analysis

Combine empirical measurements with static AST analysis (loops/recursion counting) for hybrid verification.

```python
from bigocheck import predict_complexity, verify_hybrid, benchmark_function

def fast_func(n):
    for i in range(n):
        pass

# 1. Static Prediction (Zero-Runtime)
prediction = predict_complexity(fast_func)
print(f"Predicted: {prediction['prediction']}")  # "O(n)"
print(f"Reason:    {prediction['reason']}")      # "Single loop detected"

# 2. Hybrid Verification (Compare Static vs Dynamic)
analysis = benchmark_function(fast_func, sizes=[100, 1000])
result = verify_hybrid(fast_func, analysis.best_label)
print(result) # "✅ Match! Static (O(n)) aligns with Empirical (O(n))"
```

---

### 3️⃣4️⃣ Static Web Dashboard

Generate a self-contained HTML dashboard folder to host on GitHub Pages.

```python
from bigocheck import benchmark_function, generate_dashboard

# Run multiple benchmarks
b1 = benchmark_function(func1, sizes=[100, 1000])
b2 = benchmark_function(func2, sizes=[100, 1000])

# Generate static site
generate_dashboard([b1, b2], output_dir="docs/dashboard")
# ✅ Dashboard generated at: docs/dashboard/index.html
```

---

## 🔍 Dependency Transparency

We claim **Zero Dependencies**, which means we do not require any third-party packages (like `numpy`, `pandas`, or `scipy`) to run. We rely exclusively on Python's robust standard library.

Here is a transparent breakdown of the internal standard modules we use and why:

| Module | Purpose | Feature |
|--------|---------|---------|
| `ast` | Abstract Syntax Tree parsing | **Static Complexity Analysis** (AI) |
| `timeit` / `time` | High-precision timing | **Benchmarking** |
| `tracemalloc` | Memory allocation tracking | **Space Complexity** |
| `statistics` | Mean, Stdev, Linear Regression | **Fitting & P-values** |
| `math` | Log, Sqrt, Factorial | **Basis Functions** |
| `argparse` | CLI argument parsing | **Command Line Interface** |
| `json` | Data serialization | **Exports & Baselines** |
| `asyncio` | Event loop management | **Async Benchmarking** |
| `concurrent.futures` | Process pools | **Parallel Benchmarking** |
| `inspect` | Source code introspection | **Docstring Generation** |
| `importlib` | Dynamic imports | **Target Resolution** (`module:func`) |
| `gc` | Garbage collection control | **Stability & Memory Accuracy** |

*Note: `matplotlib` is listed as an optional dev-dependency only for the plotting feature.*
