- @Kaz: Who cares what "N" is -- if you want to sound smart in meetings, on forums or at parties, just throw "Oh-of-En" at everyone you see -- after all, if you sound computersciencey enough, who'd ask for details? Now let me make dinner, I usually do that in O(N).Kerrek SB– Kerrek SB2013-10-26 00:09:56 +00:00Commented Oct 26, 2013 at 0:09

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
