for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){ for(int j = 0; j < i; j++){ // constant time operations }}
This was the only question I got wrong on the final quiz. I don’t understand where the /2 comes from.
It says the answer is n(n-1)/2. I thought you would have it over 2 if we were adding the iterator by 2 instead of one, then it would be n/2 instead of n. But that is not happening here. What is causing it to be over 2?
