Someone asked me a brainteaser, and I don't know; my knowledge slows down after amortized analysis, and in this case, this is O(n).
public int findMax(array) {
int count = 0;
int max = array[0];
for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
if (array[i] > max) {
count++;
max = array[i];
}
}
return count;
}
What's the expected value of count for an array of size n?
