When you first learned to multiply numbers, you were told that x * y means adding x a total of y times, so 5 * 4 = 5+5+5+5 = 20. What is the time complexity of multiplying two n-digit numbers in base b using the repeated addition method, as a function of n and b. Assume that single-digit by single-digit addition or multiplication takes O(1) time.
Show how you arrive at your answer. (Hint that was given : "how big can y be as a function of n and b?") -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
