Definition Pseudo-code is a compact and informal high-level description of a computer programming algorithm that uses the structural conventions of some programming language. Pseudocode is a kind of structured English for describing algorithms in an easily readable and modular form. This helps in describing how the system will solve the given problem. Read more…
(A) Asymptotic Notations (n→∞): Asymptotic notations are used to express the running time of an algorithm in terms of function, whose domain is the set of natural numbers N={1,2,3,…..}. Such notations are convenient for describing the worst case running time function T(n). Asymptotic notation gives the rate of growth, i.e. Read more…
