what is N?
Does O(1) count as polinominal?
The Empty String Photographer
@mousetail I guess :p
mousetail
Then any quine would count
The Empty String Photographer
It’s the polynomial n^0
mousetail
Quines take no input so can't take any other amount of time
The Empty String Photographer
@mousetail hence why it’s

I don't think there should ever be another CUC
Even the acronym is unfortunate
And how is anyone supposed to answer a challenge that is unclear?

: Make any algorithm that runs in O(2) time.

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer 1
That's in python
The Empty String Photographer
@Simd Nope. O(2) algorithms must run two times slower than O(1) algorithms :p
lyxal
I feel like that may not be how O(1) works :p

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer There is no such thing, google big O notation

holy time complexity

Actual omega

new time complexity just dropped
lyxal
call the polynomial time algorithm
