I have an algorithm that runs in O(n2)time, where n is the size of the problem. What does “the size of the problem” mean?

What will be an ideal response?


The “size” of a problem is the number of some kind of operation that is characteristic of the problem. For sorting and searching, it is the number of elements in the container. For a compiler may be the number of lines of code or the number of tokens.
