What is the worst-case Big-O runtime for the following method? Assume that n is the length of the array. 1. public static void divdeAndConquer(int[] input) { 2. if (input.length <= 0) 3. return; 4. else { 5. int[] leftHalf = new int[input.length/2]; 6. for (int i = 0; i < leftHalf.length; i++) { 7. leftHalf[i] = input[i]; 8. } 9. divideAndConquer(leftHalf); 10. int[] rightHalf = new int[input.length - leftHalf.length]; 11. for (int i = 0; i < rightHalf.length; i++) { 12. rightHalf[i] = input[leftHalf.length + i]; 13. } 14. divideAndConquer(right); 15. } 16.}

What is the running time complexity of the following code snippet as a function of n (give your answer in theta notation): int Function1 (int n) { int count = 0; for (i = 0; <= n; i=i++) for (j = 0; j < i; j++) count++; return count; }
Madhur L.
Analysing Algorithmic Efficiency (Marks: 2) Analyze the following code fragment and provide an asymptotic (Θ) bound on the running time as a function of n. You do not need to give a formal proof, but you should justify your answer. 1: foo ← 0 2: for i ← 0 to n do 3: foo ← foo × 4 4: for j ← 1895 to 2021 do 5: for k ← i to n - 1 do 6: for l ← 2i + 1 to 5i + 6 do 7: foo ← foo × l 8: end for 9: end for 10: end for 11: end for
