Algorithms in O(n^2) vs O(n) [duplicate]

What you are asking about is a topic in computer science known as Algorithm Complexity Analysis. It is a very important topic to consider when writing algorithms, or solutions, in your programs because it relates to run-time, or how fast your computations will run. Big-Oh, or O(n) relates to the upper-bound run-time for an algorithm … Read more

how to implement quick sort algorithm in C++

Your consideration is wrong. The value of r does not change, since it is given as value to the Quicksort function(not a reference). You handle the ranges with p,q such that p is the first index in the range and q the first index not in the range. Thus, your calls were wrong: Here is the complete example. I used std::swap to change elements and ans std::vector … Read more

How to generate all permutations of a list?

There’s a function in the standard-library for this: itertools.permutations. If for some reason you want to implement it yourself or are just curious to know how it works, here’s one nice approach, taken from http://code.activestate.com/recipes/252178/: A couple of alternative approaches are listed in the documentation of itertools.permutations. Here’s one: And another, based on itertools.product:

What does O(log n) mean exactly?

The most common attributes of logarithmic running-time function are that: the choice of the next element on which to perform some action is one of several possibilities, and only one will need to be chosen. or the elements on which the action is performed are digits of n This is why, for example, looking up … Read more
