    Hi,
    In the above image, I cant understand why the running time of inner loop is n*(n-1)/2? I am able to understand n* (n-1) but I cant understand why are we dividing by 2? Can some body please guide me.

    Zulfi.

    Hi,
    I am able to understand this. Actually the formula for sum of numbers from 1 to n is : ( n * (n+1))/ 2.
