( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Nitpicking:

'Ο' is used for an estimate in excess (it's supposed to be a capital omicron, not an 'oh')

'Ω' is used for an estimate in defect (o-mega "is bigger" than o-micron)

'Θ' is used for the actual growth.

For example: mergesort is Ω(1), Ο(n2), Θ(n log n)

This is important since it's quite common to know boundaries on the complexity, but not the exact complexity. For example, matrix multiplication is Ω(n2) (you have to generate all the elements), and surely Ο(n3) (there is a naif algorithm with that complexity), but we don't know the exact function.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
