Let A[1,...,n] be an array storing a bit (1 or 0) at each location, and f(m) is a function whose time complexity is O(m). Consider the following program fragment written in a C like language:

counter = 0;
for(i = 1; i <= n; i++){
 if(A[i]==1){
   counter++;
 }else{
   f(counter); counter = 0;
 }
}

The complexity of this program fragment is

$$\Omega ({n^2})$$

$$\Omega (n\,\log n)\,and\,O({n^2})$$

$$\theta (n)$$

$$O(n)$$
