CS 240: Lecture 7 – Amortized Analyis of ArrayList
Dear students: Today we begin our application of complexity analysis to real live data structures that software developers use everyday. The first data structure to go under the microscope is the array-based list. Before that, though, we need to discuss one alternative view of the complexity classes. Limit Definitions Last week we looked at ways […]

CS 240: Lecture 4 – Asymptotic Complexity
Dear students: If I asked you how fast you can run, you probably wouldn’t give me a number. Rather, you’d ask me how far. To get a complete picture of your speed, I might ask how fast you run a mile, a 5K, a 10K, and a marathon. Similarly, when I ask an algorithm how […]
