to be even more precise :)

Or, you should demonstrate the self awareness to realize that you're just playing with the ambiguity of English in a hastily written comment. Exercise: in what precise context would time/space complexity be O(n), and in what precise context would it be O(1)? (Though the emoticon is probably an indicator that you already knew all this.)

I'm well aware how to analyze a dynamically growing array (each insert "pays" for two moves in the future), but I'm not sure what you're getting at. The amortized complexity of appending an element to the end is θ(1), worst-case non-amortized θ(n) when the growing needs to happen.

Then do that N times. Then re-read the text and think of the context being discussed.
