Do we have to calculate time for declaring statement in RAM model? Do we have to calculate time for declaring statement, in my case int num3 statement. The following question was asked by professor as a post-lecture quiz. I selected t(n)=3, but the correct answer was t(n)=4.
What is the time taken by following algorithm on RAM model ?


t(n)=3
t(n)=4
t(n)=5
None of the above
There is no standard answer, so you'll have to go by whatever convention is used in your course.
