Mergesort recurssion tree depth...logs
The merge sort algorithm creates a complete binary tree, which has depth 'd' and at each level, a total of n elements.
So, 2d ≈ n, which implies d ≈ log2 n

Big-O comparison different arrangements of similar code
Its O(N).
When there are consecutive loops, we calculate time complexity as sum of time complexities of individual loops.
for (int i = 1; i <=m; i += c)
{
// some O(1) expressions
}
for (i …

String matching algorithm - check if a string matches a pattern
There are various algorithms for pattern matching in string.
Exact String matching algorithms
Brute Force
Rabin Karp
Boyer-Moree
KMP
Aho Corasick etc. … You can have a look through all these algorithms.
These algorithms will take optimum complexity like O(m),O(n+m) (in case of KMP for example). …

How does the Galil's rule work on Boyer-Moore algorithm?
The algorithm is based on a simple principle. Suppose that we are trying to match a substring of length n. We are going to first look at character at index m. If that character is not in the string, w …
