3. Complexity of Problems What is the asymptotic complexity of the sorting problem?
4. Complexity of Sorting Facts Known: 1. There exists a sorting algorithm, best-first-sort, that has worst-case asymptotic running time in (N2) where N is the number of elements in the input list.
5. Complexity of Sorting Facts Known: 1. There exists a sorting algorithm, best-first-sort, that has worst-case asymptotic running time in (N2) where N is the number of elements in the input list. 2. It is not possible to sort a list of elements, without at least looking at each element once.
6. Complexity of Sorting Facts Known: 1. There exists a sorting algorithm, best-first-sort, that has worst-case asymptotic running time in (N2) where N is the number of elements in the input list. 2. It is not possible to sort a list of elements, without at least looking at each element once. How can we make progress to a tight () bound for the problem complexity?

10. Complexity of Multiplying Facts Known: 1. There exists a multiplication algorithm, ft-multiply, that has worst-case asymptotic running time in (N2) where N is the size (number of digits) in the input.
11. Complexity of Multiplying Facts Known: 1. There exists a multiplication algorithm, ft-multiply, that has worst-case asymptotic running time in (N2) where N is the size (number of digits) in the input 2. It is not possible (in the worst case) to multiply two numbers, without at least looking at each digit.

15. Complexity of Multiplying Facts Known: 1. There exists a multiplication algorithm, furer-multiply, that has worst-case asymptotic running time in (N log N 2O(log* N)) where N is the size (number of digits) in the input 2. It is not possible (in the worst case) to multiply two numbers with less than (N log N) operations (“under certain restrictive conditions”).

22. Inheritance is using the definition of one class to implement another class. SquareBoard inherits from Board. SquareBoard is a derived class of Board. SquareBoard is a subclass of Board. The base class of SquareBoard is Board. The superclass of SquareBoard is Board. Board SquareBoard These all mean the same thing. GameState
24. The base class of TicTacBoard is SquareBoard. TicTacToeBoard is a subclass of GameState, Board, SquareBoard Board SquareBoard GameState TicTacToeBoard
