yeah, you are right. It comes from 2 to 6.

Re: [algogeeks] value of n
Hi Amit, This particular example was quite simple.. just required using calculator couple of times. We know log 1 =0 and log 10 = 1, so given the above equation, it was clear that the answer had to lie within the range (1,10) and then I used the calculator couple of times to narrow down the range. For a more generic/complicated equation of this nature, u'll need to plot the functions as people have suggested earlier. Regards, Sundeep.

Re: [algogeeks] value of n
this equation is true for 32 but not for 64 so i used a linear search for 43 the right side is 43.410118 and for 44 its 43.675453 so this equation means n44 On Sat, May 1, 2010 at 9:43 AM, Amit Agarwal lifea...@gmail.com wrote: I could not get you properly.

Re: [algogeeks] value of n
An easy way to do would be to plot both functions in matlab, n and 8log(n) ... just see when y = x is below y = 8log(x) happens between 3= n = 25 if log is to natural base if it was log base 2 ... 3= n = 43 On Sat, May 1, 2010 at 10:43 AM, Amit Agarwal lifea...@gmail.com wrote: I could not get you properly.
