I'v got some problem to understand the difference between Logarithmic(Lcc) and Uniform(Ucc) cost criteria and also how to use it in calculations.

Could someone please explain the difference between the two and perhaps show how to calculate the complexity for a problem like A+B*C

(Yes this is part of an assignment =) )

Thx for any help!

I did the same thing with other powers of 2, and it worked perfectly. I ran 'log10(2**31)… >>> More

What does O, if indeed it is a Oh (As in the letter O) not the number Zero (0) mean? I think the n would be number, but I'm not sure as I'm not a 'real' computer programmer, just a hobbyist. And log would be logarithmic function, but I only know that because of smarter people then I have told me this… >>> More
