Algorithm complexity The complexity of a computer

Chapter 4, Problem 110

(choose chapter or problem)

Algorithm complexity The complexity of a computer algorithm is the number of operations or steps the algorithm needs to complete its task assuming there are n pieces of input (for example, the number of steps needed to put n numbers in ascending order). Four algorithms for doing the same task have complexities of A: n3>2, B: n log2 n, C: n1log2 n22, and D: 1n log2 n. Rank the algorithms in order of increasing efficiency for large values of n. Graph the complexities as they vary with n and comment on your observations.
