Dec 19, 2019 · Most people with a degree in CS will certainly know what Big O stands for. It helps us to measure how well an algorithm scales. But I'm curious, how do you calculate or approximate the complexity...

Jun 7, 2021 · This function is log (n) base 5, for every time we divide by 5 before calling the function so its O(log(n)) (base 5), often called logarithmic and most often Big O notation and complexity analysis uses base 2.

I need help understanding/doing Big O Notation. I understand the purpose of it, I just don't know how to "determine the complexity given a piece of code". Determine the Big O notation for each of ...

May 29, 2013 · The big-Theta notation for the function f (n) is then written as Θ (g (n)). The purpose of this notation is to provide a rough estimate of the running time, ignoring lower order terms and constant factors.

Jan 10, 2013 · I've just been introduced to Big-O notation and I've been given some questions. However I'm confused as to how to determine the value of n0. I have to show that 3n^3 +20n^2 + 5 is O(n^3). So far I...

Jun 23, 2014 · I'm having difficulty determining the big O of simple recursive methods. I can't wrap my head around what happens when a method is called multiple times.

Dec 14, 2023 · I'm studying how to properly calculate Big O notation and was wondering if anyone could confirm whether my work is correct of not (my comments on each line): int n = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLin...

Jul 8, 2015 · While studying algorithms and data structures I manually evaluate BigO complexity for my script. Is there a way, let say a button in any Python IDE or a package, to calculate BigO for any given fun...

Big-O notation is intended to describe how an algorithm scales for variable size input. In particular, the number of operations needed by an algorithm on a fixed input (as yours above) will always be constant, i.e., O (1). Similarly, big-O notation is invariant to constant multiplication. This means that: O (1) = O (10) = O (Log (10))

Feb 5, 2017 · There is a rigorous mathematical definition of big-O: f (x) is O (g (x)) if there exist values x0 >= 0 and k > 0 such that for all x > x0, f (x) <= k*g (x). To prove statements about the big-O classification of functions, you must show how to find the x0 and k values.
