Only Typing answer

Consider the following Algorithm:
ALGORITHM P(n)
//Input a positive integer n
i←1
j←0
for k 1 to n do
ji+jij-i
return j
1. a) What does this algorithm return when n=1, n=2, n=5?
2. b) What is its basic operation?
3. c) How many times is the basic operation executed?
4. d) What is the space cost of the algorithm expressed in big-Theta?
5. e) What is the efficiency class of the algorithm? Show any assumptions you made to
arrive at your answer.
Indicate whether the efficiency class is constant, linear, quadratic, exponential, etc. in the
input size.
