Explanation of Solution

Proving running time “T(N) = aN + b”:

  • It is the linear running time.
    • It means a running time of “T(N) = aN + b”
    • A linear running time is always contains “O(N)” running time.
  • From the given question, “N” is always at least “1”. So, user can consider “1N<

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.
When the order of increase of an algorithm's running time is N log N, the doubling test leads to the hypothesis that the running time is a N for a constant a. Isn't that an issue?
I need an algorithm which gets n numbers from 1 to k and has a process in O(n+k). Then whenever we ask the algorithm that how many numbers of n are in [a,b], answers in constant time.(data structor)
