Yes,I saw that. What will we do here then?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Hi bobbym
Can you tell me examples of algorithms that are O((n!)^(n!)), O(sin(n)), O(cos(n)), O(sqrt(n)), O(n^(1/n))?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Maybe a better one would be O(abs(sin(x))).

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Why would we not just pick the maximum value and say O(1)?

Because it is faster than O(1).

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
|sin(n)| can take any value between 0 and 1. Isn't that less than some constant? Isn't that constant 1?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Yes. But that doesn't give us an algorithm with complexity |sin(n)|.

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
What I am saying is I do not know what that means. I know what O(n) means and O(n^2) but what does O(|sin(n)|) mean for an algorithm?

It could mean that the number of operations oscilates as the largeness of input goes up.
