Algorithms and Complexity - Operation Counting

Flashcards covering key concepts from the lecture on operation counting and time complexity, including constant, linear, logarithmic, and quadratic time complexities.

How are logarithmic functions related to exponential functions?

Logarithmic functions are the inverse of exponential functions.

Express 2^3 = 8 in logarithmic form.

log2(8) = 3

In the general logarithmic form bc = a, what does 'b' represent?

b is the base

In Case 4 (Quadratic Function), what is the time complexity?

Quadratic. The time taken by this program is quadratic with respect to input size N, because the highest order term is N2.
