In this code, the outer loop runs

$$

n times, decrementing

$$

i by $1$ in each iteration until it reaches $0.$ Inside the loop, we have a conditional statement that checks if

$$

i is even before executing the println statement. Since

$$

i starts from

$$

n and decreases by $1$ in each iteration, and only half of the iterations will meet the condition for the println statement, the growth function can be expressed as

$$

$($

$$

$)$

O$($n$).$
