Question

GIVEN THE FOLLOWING CODE SNIPPET:


def foo(a, b=[1]):
     if a <= 1:
         return b
     b_new = [b[i] + b[i+1] for i in range(len(b)-1)]
         return foo(a-1, [1] + b_new + [1])

 

1.1 What is the worst-case time complexity of foo(a,b) assuming initial b=[1]?

HINT: THE ANSWER IS NOT O(1), O(n^2), O(a), O(log b), O(n), O(b^2).

1.2 What is the worst-case auxiliary space complexity of foo(a,b) assuming initial b=[1]?

HINT: THE ANSWER IS NOT O(1), O(n^2), O(a), O(log b), O(n), O(b^2).
