#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int n, i = 1, sum = 0;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> n;
while (i <= n) {
sum += i;
i *= 2; // This is the key to make it run in O(log n) time.
}
cout << "The sum of all numbers from 1 to " << n << " is: " << sum << endl;
return 0;
}
🤖 Code Explanation
The code calculates the sum of all numbers from 1 to n. The key to making it run in O(log n) time is the i *= 2 statement, which causes the loop to run in O(log n) time.
