The video tutorial explains how to determine the time complexity of a code snippet with nested loops. The outer loop runs n times, while the inner loop updates by powers of two and terminates when it reaches n. The inner loop's time complexity is calculated as log log n. By multiplying the complexities of the outer and inner loops, the overall time complexity is determined to be n log log n.
