Hi ashish and Hamster,

First of all, thank you so much for your posts. They are very much
appreciated.

Hamster, you mentioned that to show that an algorithm is O(2^n), I need
to show that there is some other function (say f or g) that looks
exactly the same. Thats where I lost you. How is this helpful?

Oh, I see the point, hopefully I'm right on this one as well. That an
algorithm must O(n^2) if there are some other (n^2) functions that are
greater than that of the algorithm. This is logical in that if the
algorithm is not larger than an (n^2) function, then it must be O(n^2)
in nature.

Hopefully i got you correctly. Nevertheless, thank you so much for the
replies.
