Explanation of Solution
Complexity of an
The complexity of an algorithm solves a computations problem by finding the number of basic steps required for an input.
Proof:
Statement:
Explanation:
Consider the two algorithms “F” and “G” can be compared for solving a problem which can be done by comparing their complexity functions
The complexity functions can be compared if there exists a positive constant “K” such that,
The algorithm “F” is not worse than “K” times “G” for large problems. For this case, it can be given as
