“Knife” Sarah Ellis “Knife” is told by Curtis’ point of view. The LD flashback is used twice in the story.

directions of search for efficient algorithms. Big O notation In computer science‚ big O notation is used to classify algorithms by how they respond (e.g.‚ in their processing time or working space requirements) to changes in input size. Big O notation characterizes functions according to their growth rates: different functions with the same growth rate may be represented using the same O notation. A description of a function in terms of big O notation usually only provides an upper bound on the growth
