Hi all,
Can anybody tell me how to calculate the order of a recursive function.
Lets take factorial function.
Without using recursion
int x =1;
for(int i = 1;i<=n;i++)
x = x*i;
In this case the order will the O(n) in terms of time and in terms of space it will be O(1).
Assuming I am right. Correct me otherwise.
Now suppose I implemet the same factorial with rtecursion
return(n==0? 1 : n * fact(n-1));
What will be the order in time and space????
