+## Methods `len`, `is_empty` and `capacity` take constant time (C-CONSTANT-TIME-METHODS)
+
+The [time complexity] for methods named `len`, `is_empty` and `capacity` should be **O(1)** -
+it should always take the same amount of time to run these methods regardless of
+how large the collection is.
+
+If you need to count elements by iterating, choose a different name for your methods such as `count` or `size`
