What is the time complexity of below code? 

C++




#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
void fun(int n) {
    int j = 1, i = 0;
    while (i < n) {
        // Some O(1) task
        i = i + j;
        j++;
    }
}


C




void fun(int n)
{
   int j = 1, i = 0;
   while (i < n)
   {
       // Some O(1) task
       i = i + j;
       j++;
   }
}


Java




// Method with a parameter 'n'
static void fun(int n)
{
    // Initializing variables
    int j = 1, i = 0;
 
    // While loop with condition
    while (i < n) {
        // Some O(1) task
        i = i + j;
        j++;
    }
}


Python3




def fun(n):
    j, i = 1, 0
    while i < n:
        # Some O(1) task
        i = i + j
        j += 1


C#




using System;
 
static void fun(int n)
{
    int j = 1, i = 0;
    while (i < n) {
        // Some O(1) task
        i = i + j;
        j++;
    }
}


Javascript




function fun(n) {
    let j = 1,
        i = 0;
    while (i < n) {
        // Some O(1) task
        i = i + j;
        j++;
    }
}


The loop variable ‘i’ is incremented by 1, 2, 3, 4, … until i becomes greater than or equal to n. The value of i is x(x+1)/2 after x iterations. So if loop runs x times, then x(x+1)/2 < n. Therefore time complexity can be written as ?(?n).
