Question

How would I figure out the basic operations of this code? I am not sure what is and isn't classified as a basic operation. Thank you.

for ( j = 1; j < n; j++ )

{

           for ( k = j; k < n; k++ )

          {

                   v++;

          }

          for ( k = 1; k < n; k++ )

          {

                  h++;

          }

}

Answer 1

for ( j = 1; j < n; j++ )
{
    for ( k = j; k < n; k++ )
    {
        v++;
    }
    for ( k = 1; k < n; k++ )
    {
        h++;
    }
}

operations inside for loops v++ and h++ are considered as basic operations in this code.
Total number of operations = O(n^2)
