Question

What is the time complexity of these algorithms, in terms of n?

[ Sum += y is a short form notation for Sum = Sum + y. gcd(m,n) is the greatest common divisor of m and n. For example, gcd(3,6) = 3.]

int j = 5
while (j < log n) {

int k = 5
while (k < n) {

Sum += a[j]*b[k]

k = k^1.3 }

j = 1.3 * j }

for (int i = 1 to n) { for (int j = i to n) {

for (int k = j to n) { Sum += a[i]*b[j]*c[k]

}
If (gcd(i,j) == 1) {

j=n }

} }

For (int j = 1 to n) { For (int k = j to n)

{
x=k

While (x < n) { Sum +=

a[j]*b[k]*c[x]
If (x % 3 == 0)

{

} }

x=n+1 }

x=x+1 }

Explanation / Answer

Leftmost has time complexity O(n2) because there are two nested loops each running fo length O(n)

middle has tme complexity O(n3) because there are three nested loops each running to length O(n)

rightmost has time complexity O(n3) because there are three nested loops each running to length O(n)
