can you get negative answers for the constants, like say you get a negative number for B?  |

yes., cuz when u sub in the points to check they work out,.
my only explanation
when getting a negative running time when u sub in a value for n that's too small, is that it takes 0 time to process., ., so anything less than or equal to 0 is 0 running time.,

anyone else getting huge numbers  Input=7807100 Average execution time (in milliseconds)=1038 i must be doing something wrong but i dunno what |

anyone else getting huge numbers Input=7807100 Average execution time (in milliseconds)=1038 i must be doing something wrong but i dunno what for which? Linear?.,Quad? or NlogN? i think i have like 6 000 000 as my largest N value for linear ., taht's for 1001ms, keep in mind, the faster your processor is , the larger your n value would be., meaning, it does more executions during the same amount of time as slower processors would.. |

for linear
guess this number is not surprising (@_@)

It depends mostly on what kind of computer you're on...if you're using CDF I can see why you are getting large numbers ;D
Anyways how did you people solve for the log one? I don't think my calculator can change the base for logs....any ideas?
EDIT: I got it
e.g. log28 = log108 / log102

is it just my computer or does the time fluctuate by a lot?
i mean i have a value of say 160,000 for linear and the times i end up getting range from as low as 80 to as high as 130...
are we supposed to take the average time for all 3?

Mine didn't really fluctuate all that much, sure you don't have anything else running at different times?
You probably don't even care now since everyone but me is done ;D I have roughly 5 minutes of work left to do, then I can get some sleep and then wake up early to get to that drop box in time!
