    Study Notes

    Algorithm Running Times and Growth Rates

    • Linear relationship in running time with $n$ typically refers to algorithms with an $O(n)$ complexity.
    • If running time is 1 second on an original processor, it indicates the baseline time for the algorithm's execution.
    • With a processor ten times faster, the running time of algorithms will reduce to 0.1 seconds (1 second / 10).
    • The fastest running time for large values of $n$ is often characterized by $O(1)$ and $O(\log n)$ complexities, while algorithms with $O(n)$ come next.
    • The actual running time increases most rapidly for exponential algorithms, such as those with $O(2^n)$ or $O(n!)$ complexities.
    • Doubling the number of data items significantly increases running time for algorithms like $O(n^2)$, compared to $O(\log n)$.
    • The growth rate of $T(n) = 10$ is constant, denoted as $O(1)$.
    • The growth rate of $T(n) = n^2 - 1000 + 2$ simplifies to $O(n^2)$ due to the dominant term.
    • For $T(n) = 3 \times 8^n - 10$, the growth rate is $O(8^n)$, indicative of exponential growth.
    • The algorithm with the most rapid increase in actual running time as $n$ grows is often exponential or factorial in nature like $O(n!)$.
    • If $T(n) = \frac{1}{2}n^2 + 3n + 1$, its growth rate is $O(n^2)$.
    • The notation $O(g(n))$ for $T(n) = 5n + 2$ is $O(n)$.
    • For $T(n) = \frac{1}{3}n^3 + 4n^2 + 2n$, the growth rate is $O(n^3)$.
    • The growth rate for $T(n) = 3 \log_{10} n^2 + 3.56n^2$ is dominated by the $n^2$ term, hence $O(n^2)$.
    • Notation $O(n^2)$ represents the growth rate for $T(n) = 3 \log_{10} n^2 + 3.56n^2$.

    Expression Growth Rates

    • Arrange growth rates from slowest to fastest: $log_{2} n$, $log_{3} n$, $3n$, $4n^2$, $n \log_{2} n$, $n^2/3$, $n!$, $1000$.
    • The slowest growth rate expression is $log_{2} n$.
    • The fastest growth rate expression is $n!$.

    Algorithmic Growth Rates and Changes in Conditions

    • The algorithmic growth rate for program skeletons depends on their operations: loops and conditional statements.
    • For a loop condition of 'i=i-1', if the loop runs a fixed number of times, it could be $O(1)$.
    • If 'i=i*2', it shifts the growth to logarithmic, typically $O(\log n)$.
    • Doubling $n$ increases running time notably in quadratic $O(n^2)$ or above, while linear $O(n)$ increases less dramatically.

    Array Operations

    • Notation $a[ins+1..right+1]$ represents a subarray starting just after index ins to right+1.
    • For an array $a = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]$ with ins at 2, $a[ins..right]$ includes elements from index 2 to the last index.
    • Inserting elements (e.g., 35 at ins:2) requires shifting elements to the right to maintain order.
    • Array deletions maintain integrity by following operations that keep the elements contiguous.
    • After deletion, elements to the right of the deletion point are shifted left to fill the gap.
    • The notation $a[del+1..right]$ in deletions indicates elements that follow the deleted element.

    Reflection in Java

    • Reflection allows inspection and manipulation of class properties at runtime in Java.
    • It inspects class metadata such as methods, fields, and constructors.
    • Reflection is useful for frameworks that require dynamic behavior or for debugging.
    • Classes are dynamically loaded using methods like Class.forName().
    • A new instance of a class is declared with ClassName obj = new ClassName();.
    • The constructor is called during instantiation when the object is created.
    • A method is added to an object through Dynamic Invocation using Method.invoke().
    • The invoke() method takes the target object and parameters for method execution.
