Question

The language for the following problem is Java. 

Consider the following code (assume n is a positive integer):

for(int i = 1; i < n;i=i*2) {

    // … iterates how many times? 

}

for(int i = 0; i < n;++i) { 

    for(int j = 0; j < n;j=j+2) { 

        for(int k = 1; k < n;k=k*2) { 

            // … iterates how many times?

        }

        // … iterates how many times?

     }

     // … iterates how many times?  

}

A.) How many for loop iterations are there (i.e. how many times does //… get executed)?

B.) What is the Big-O of this code?

C.) Please provide the proof for Big-O.
