An . algorithm’s . time complexity is a function T(n) of problem size n that represents how much time the algorithm will take to complete its task.. In 1956, two concurrent events transformed the postwar pattern of international relations. The Suez crisis marked the end of innocence for the Western Alliance; henceforth, the . Western allies would never again be able fully to believe in their own avowals of a perfect symmetry of interests. Simultaneously, the bloody suppression of the Hungarian uprising showed that the Soviet Union would maintain its sphere of interest, by force if necessary, and that talk of liberation was empty. There could no longer be any doubt that the Cold War would be both protracted and bitter… Kissinger, Diplomacy, pp. 550-551.. and . Hierarchy.
