# Big-θ Notation # Big-θ Notation
Big Theta \(\Theta\) notation is used in computer science to describe an asymptotic tight bound on a function. This essentially means it provides both an upper and lower bound for a function. When we say a function f(n) is \(\Theta(g(n))\), we mean that the growth rate of f(n) is both bounded above and below by the function g(n) after a certain point. This is more precise than Big O and Big Omega notation, which provide only an upper and a lower bound, respectively. Big Theta notation tells us exactly how a function behaves for large input values. For example, if an algorithm has a time complexity of \(\Theta(n^2)\), it means the running time will increase quadratically with the input size.
