title: How do I determine the big O for my nested for loop?
body: <p>I have a nested for loop. I am aware that a nested for loop is of O(n2). I have some code that runs in the for loops, but it is conditional, as it only runs if conditions are met. Is that to be factored into the big O? Or is it so small compared the scaling of O(n2) that it is meaningless?</p>
