Asymptotic Notation
Correction: "Big-O refers to the upper bound of time or space complexity of an algorithm, meaning it worst case runtime scenario."
Updated: "Big-O refers to the upper bound of time or space complexity of an algorithm, typically representing the worst-case runtime scenario."

Typo: "Best case means a ideal input."
Updated: "Best case means an ideal input."

Search Algorithms - Depth First Search
Correction: "It traverses left down a tree until it cannot go further."
Updated: "It traverses down the left side of a tree until it cannot go further."

Sorting Algorithms - Insertion Sort
Correction: "Although it has an O(n^2) time complexity, in practice it "is slightly less" since its comparison scheme only requires checking place if it is smaller than its neighbor."
Updated: "Although it has an O(n^2) time complexity, in practice it "can perform better" since its comparison scheme only requires checking place if it is smaller than its neighbor."

Sorting Algorithms - Merge Sort
Correction: "Worst Case: O(1)"
Updated: "Worst Case: O(n)" (because merge sort requires additional space proportional to the input size.)

- Updated Big-O definition in Asymptotic Notation section
- Corrected "ideal input" typo in Best Case definition
- Improved DFS traversal description in Search Algorithms section
- Clarified Insertion Sort performance description
- Fixed Merge Sort worst-case space complexity
