factorial recursion complexity code example
Example: complexity analysis of factorial using recursion
T(n) = T(n-1) + 3 (3 is for As we have to do three constant operations like
multiplication,subtraction and checking the value of n in each recursive
call)
= T(n-2) + 6 (Second recursive call)
= T(n-3) + 9 (Third recursive call)
.
.
.
.
= T(n-k) + 3k
till, k = n
Then,
= T(n-n) + 3n
= T(0) + 3n
= 1 + 3n
