I'm having hard times solving this problem
What value is returned by the following function? Express your answer as a function of n. Give the worst-case running time using Big Oh notation.
function pesky( n) r := 0 for i := 1 to n do for j := 1 to i do for k := j to i + j do r := r +1 return(r)
First, I try to represent this function mathematically and simplify it
To check my solution I've created a method
public static int mystery(int n) {
int r = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
for (int k = j; k <= i + j; k++) {
r++;
}
}
}
return r;
}
And it turns out that I did something wrong. Any help or hint highly appreciated.
