It's O(n^2), but it can be taken down to O(1) using this formula: if (n>7) sum = (n/4-1)*(n-4-1); else sum = 0;

Then what about this for (int i=1; i< 2*n ;i++) for (int j=1;j<n*n /2;j*=2) sum = sum +1;

The outer for loop will execute n times and inner also so it will become O (n^2) but what happens when we divide or add by some constant such as n*n/10
