#Simple Complexity Examples

These programs don't do anything very interesting, but they do cost different amounts of time to run.

The programs in increasing order of cost are:

• log.cpp
• sqrt.cpp
• linear.cpp
• quadratic.cpp

Compile a file with the command

g++ file.cpp

Time it by changing the value in the file input and running

time ./a.out < input

Be careful not to run quadratic.cpp with too large a value!
