What is the most suitable data structure for IPv4 addresses with intersecting ranges?
Mostly in all routers and operating systems the Longest Prefix Match algorithm is used for searching the trie of IPv4 addresses.
Packet filters like Iptables don't need some special data structure for ...

Processing a 2D matrix - need to speed up my O(n^4) algorithm
I have an n x n matrix which I need to convert into a list sorted by value. Starting with the maximum value cell at (row x1, col y1), I must immediately exclude all cells where (x >= x1, y <= y1)...

Using a different algorithm depending on the size of the input
I recently finished a course on advanced algorithms, and another on complexity & computability theory, and in the past few days my mind has been somewhat preoccupied by this question.
Why don't we ...

Time complexity for a small code
I'm trying to find the time complexity for the following code.
N= number of elements in array
D= a constant: D>1
V= a constant: V>1000
counter=1; //the maximum value of the counter is N/D.
...

Why in Tournament Sorting do we neglect the number of comparisons to find the Minimum?
Here the professor said that, Tournament sort needs (n-1) + 2(n-1)logn comparisons.
{Where (n-1) for calculating Maximum or say creating Tournament structure
and
2(n-1)logn for other elements to sort}...

How does the dividing Step in Merge Sort have Constant Time Complexity?
I am highly confuse while calculating time complexity of Merge Sort Algorithm.
Specifically on the Dividing Step.
In the dividing step we have to calculate the mid point of "n" i.e. "q = n/2".
How ...

Is O(log n) + O(log n) = O(n)? [duplicate]
We know that binary search takes O(log n) in Big O notation but if we need to run twice an algorithm of O(log n), would it be the same as O(n) in time complexity?
For example, if I have a method to ...
