Practice Set: Loop Complexities

Takeaway from class-

Increment => 𝑂(𝑛) (𝑖 = 𝑖 + 𝑐)


Doubling => 𝑂(log 𝑛) (𝑖 = 2 ∗ 𝑖)
Exponentiation => 𝑂(log log 𝑛) (𝑖 = 𝑖 ∗ 𝑖)
Question 1: What will be the time complexity of following nested loop ?
Question 2

What will be the time complexity of following nested loop ?


Answer: 𝜃(𝑛 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑛 ! )
Question 3

What will be the time complexity of following nested loop ?


Answer: 𝜃(𝑛𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑛)
Question 4

What will be the time complexity of following nested loop ?


Answer: 𝜃(𝑛𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑛)
Question 5

What will be the time complexity of following nested loop ?


Answer: 𝜃(𝑛 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑛 ! ) Inner most while loop will run log 𝑖 times.

For i = 1, inner most loop will run log 1 times


For i =3, inner loop will run log 3 times
For i = 3! , inner loop will run log 3! times
For i = 3" , inner loop will run log 3" times

.
.
For i = 3# = 𝑛, inner loop will run log 3# times (here k = log 𝑛)

(We will consider outermost for loop after a while, lets focus on inner for loop)
Inner for loop will run log1 + log3 + log 3! + log 3" + …..+ log 3#
= log 1.3.3! . 3" . 3 … .3# = log 3$%!%"%⋯#
!
= log 3# = 𝑘 ! = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑛 !
Question 6

Answer: 𝜃(𝑛" )
Question 7

Answer: 𝜃(𝑛# )
Question 8

What will be the time complexity of following loop ?


Answer: 𝜃( 𝑛)
Question 9

What will be the time complexity of following loop ?


Answer: 𝜃(𝑛𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑛) (
Inner loop will run !) times.

For i = 1, inner loop will run n/2 times


For i =2, inner loop will run n/(2x2) times
For i =3, inner loop will run n/(2x3) times
For i =4, inner loop will run n/(2x4) times

.
.
For i =n, inner loop will run n/(2xn) times

Time Complexity :

. . .

For j = 1, inner loop will run n/1 times


For j =2, inner loop will run n/2 times
For j =3, inner loop will run n/3 times
For j =4, inner loop will run n/4 times

.
.
For j =n, inner loop will run n/n =1 time

Time Complexity :
