To be confrusing <| sep |> ManUNkind Death Magnetic ? It ' s a Reload song if I ' ve ever heard <| sep |> Yes , I understand how it relates to input size . You definitely don ' t according to what you ' ve been saying . When graphing n , nlogn , n 2 , and n 3 it becomes more apparent why I ' m saying they are similarOnly if you lack the critical thinking skills to examine the vertical scale of that graph . Wtf . Find a graph with a more reasonable scale and bounds , that ' s not designed to hide what ' s going on , and I might agree with you . From my previous comment edit Directly from your one link FYI , there is a pretty big difference between On and Onlogn . That ' s why it ' s not boundable by On for any constant . edit I don ' t think it ' s at all fair to say n 2 grows similarly . That ' s not the point . The point was that your current claim is just as ridiculous .
