Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an algorithm with a time complexity of O(n^3), how many operations can you reasonably expect to perform on an input of size 150?
💡 Hint: Calculate n^3 to understand how large the operation count becomes.
If a certain algorithm runs for 2^n time complexity, for what maximum 'n' can it run within 10 seconds on a reasonable computer? Discuss.
💡 Hint: Think about how quickly the count increases as 'n' grows!
