RAM: (independent of software and hardware)
-unit time to execute a statement
-will execute in sequence
-primitive operations(+,-, *) will take same time.
Asymptotic Notations:
-To Measure efficiency(time complexity) of algorithms
-large inputs
running time/computational time/execution time of an algorithm= time complexity of an algorithm
