Igor Tandetnik, >>> So what is the purpose of this whole exercise
Following the project gurus's example sequence of -- 1,2,3,4,3,5,6,7,8,10 -- the numeric sorted ascending subsequence is found to be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 using an automatic variable containing the most recent monotically increasing sequence member value and traversing the array sequentially in Big-O(linear time). As a result, the length of the sorted numeric ascending subsequence is 9. The length of the entire sequence is 10. So, the sortation percentage is (9/10) * 100% = 90%. The dynamic programming longest increasing subsequence program from Wikipedia, takes Big-0(n * log (n)) time. Thank you for your help. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
