| Question 43 |
Consider the following function:
int unknown(int n) {
int i, j, k = 0;
for (i = n/2; i <= n; i++)
for (j = 2; j <= n; j = j * 2)
k = k + n/2;
return k;
}
| Θ(n2) | |
| Θ(n2 log n) | |
| Θ(n3) | |
| Θ(n3 logn) |
Question 43 Explanation:
Outer loop runs for (n/2) times and inner loop runs for (logn) times.
So, the total number of times loop runs is (n/2 logn).
So, the final k value will be n/2*(n/2 logn) = O(n2logn)
= (n/2+1).n/2 ∙log n
= (n2log n)
So, the total number of times loop runs is (n/2 logn).
So, the final k value will be n/2*(n/2 logn) = O(n2logn)
= (n/2+1).n/2 ∙log n
= (n2log n)
Correct Answer: B
