What is the time complexity of object spread operator in Javascript?

I found that there are some QAs about spread operator time complexity but those are all for array.

Is the spread operator time complexity same for object?

JavaScript

What is the time complexity of the above statement if the key count of b is N?

is it O(N)?

Answer

It’s O(n). Object spread iterates through all enumerable own properties and assigns them to a new object, and property assignment is an O(1) process. If there are N keys to iterate through, there are around N such operations to perform.

That said, this here will not be a bottleneck in 99.9% of actual code, so it’s not worth worrying about.
