It's usually easy to calculate the time complexity for the best case and the worst case, but when it comes to the average case especially when there's a probability p given, I don't know where to start.
Let's look at the following algorithm to compute the product of a matrix:
int computeProduct(int[][] A, int m, int n) {
int product = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < m; i++ {
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
if (A[i][j] == 0) return 0;
product = product * A[i][j];
}
}
return product;
}
Suppose p
is the probability of A[i][j]
being 0 (i.e. the algorithm terminates there, return 0); how do we derive the average case time complexity for this algorithm?
