Sure it is, O notation denotes equivalence classes and being part of the same equivalence class is a perfectly cromulent notion of equality.

- gizmo686 9y agoBig-theta gives you equivalence classes. Big-O only gives you partial ordering. For instance, we might say x = O(x^2) and x=O(x), but we would not say O(x^2)=O(x). Interestingly, in my experience, some people will actually say O(x)=O(x^2), but that seems a bit too abusive for my liking.
- danharaj 9y agoYea, my mistake :)
