1. Determine the time complexity of the following function and find its big-O notation.
int f1(int n)
{
int cnt = 0;
for (int p1 = 0; p1 <= n; p1++)
for (int p2 = 0; p2 <= n - p1; p2++)
cnt++;
return cnt;
}
I have found that the formula for time complexity is (n^2+n) / 2, however I cannot figure out how this was achieved. A step by step explanation if you don't mind, thank you.
