Question

Time complexity of the following C++ function(s) and/or for-loops.

1.
double sumit (double array[],   int n)   

//n: size of the array. Assume n is divisible by 5   
{       
double s = 0;       


for (int a = 0; a < n; a = a + 5)   


s = s + array[ a ];   


return s ;   


}  

2.     
double sum_exp(int n)   

//n is a power of 10
{       
int s = 0;       

for (int a = 1; a < n; a = a * 10){   

     
s = s + a;  

                     
for (b = 0;   b < n; b++)  

                           
s = s + b;           
}       
return s;
  
}  

Explanation / Answer

1.

The control of th program will enter inside the for loop (n / 5) times. So, the statement inside the for loop will execute n / 5 times.

So, complexity = O(n / 5) which will be written as O(n)

2.

The outer loop will execute (log n) times, (base of log is 10, because everytime, i is multiplied by 10),

For each time in outer loop, the inner loop will execute n times.

So, the statement inside the inner for loop will execute (n * log n) times(base of log is 10).

So, complexity = n log n (base of log = 10)
