A |\functions |\whose |\cost |\scales |\linearly |\with |\the |\size |\of |\the |\input O(n) Iterating |\over |\a |\collection |\of |\data |\once |\often |\indicates |\an |______ |\algorithm. |(alphabet |\for-loop |\example) O(n) A |\functions |\whose |\cost |\scales |\logarithmically |\with |\the | input |\size O(log |\n) Which |\type |\of |\function |\works |\by |\breaking |\down |\large | problem |\into |\smaller |\and |\smaller |\chunks? O(log |\n) As |\the |\size |\of |\the |\input |\grows |\the |\cost |\of |\the |\algorithm | does |\not |\increase |\at |\the |\same |\rate. |\The |\overall |\cost |\of | performing |\an |\operation |\on |\1,000,000 |\items |\is |\only |\twice |\that |\of |\performing |\the |\operation |\on |\1,000 |\items.
