* * *
* * * *
* * * * *
A. What are the basic operations performed by the algorithm that you would count towards its running time?
B. Count the number of these basic operations for the specific output shown above.
C. The number of lines printed in the preceding pattern is 5. Assume that the algorithm can extend this pattern for any number of lines (line number i has i stars). If the number of lines, n is the input to the algorithm, how many basic operations are performed as a function of n?
D. Write your answer to the above question as a big O order.
A. The very basic operations performed by the algorithm that one would count towards its running time is NUMBER OF STARS PRINTED , NUMBER OF BLANKSPACE (BETWEEN EACH STAR) , NEWLINE . These all basic operations can be easily controlled by any loop (for loop is most appropiate).
B. there are 15 stars , 10 blankspace and 5 newlines .
c. If there is n as the number of lines given input then , Number of starts will be n.(n+1)/2 , it is nothing but sum of n numbers given as input ,
Numbers of blankspace will be n.(n-1)/2 , it is the sum of (n-1) number therfore each line will have one less blankspace as the line number(i.e line no 2 will have 1 blankspace and so on) .
Number of newline will be n ,i.e the number given as input .
D. O(n2) this is generally used for nested loop and hence here also nested loop is used therefore this will be the bigO order for the algorithm
As a BIg O order the above algorithm will be having O(n2) which is directly proportional to the size of the given input.

Searching/sorting tasks and efficiency analysis - Big-oh For each problem given below, do the following: 1. Create an algorithm in pseudocode to solve the problem. 2. Identify the factors that would influence the running time of your algorithm. For example, if your algorithm is to search an array the factor that influences the running time is the array size. Assign names (such as n) to each factor. 3. Count the operations performed by the algorithm. Express the count as a...
Exercise 1 Use Top-Down Design to “design” a set of instructions to write an algorithm for “travel arrangement”. For example, at a high level of abstraction, the algorithm for “travel arrangement” is: book a hotel buy a plane ticket rent a car Using the principle of stepwise refinement, write more detailed pseudocode for each of these three steps at a lower level of abstraction.

For each problems segment given below, do the following: Create an algorithm to solve the problem Identify the factors that would influence the running time, and which can be known before the algorithm or code is executed. Assign names (such as n) to each factor. Identify the operations that must be counted. You need not count every statement separately. If a group of statements always executes together, treat the group as a single unit. If a method is called, and...
