Time Complexity of dplyr functions

AI Thread Summary
The time complexity of basic dplyr functions like filter(), select(), mutate(), rename(), summarize(), count(), separate(), unite(), spread(), and gather() is generally considered O(N), where N is the number of rows in the data frame. Assuming mutate operates in O(1), this holds true for single data frames. For operations involving two data frames, such as inner_join, left_join, and outer_join, the time complexity is O(N + M), where N and M are the row counts of the respective data frames. This reflects the need to process both data frames during the join operations. Understanding these complexities is crucial for optimizing data manipulation tasks in R using dplyr.

TL;DR Summary
R
For R's dplyr package this is my query.
Suppose I have a data frame/tibble of n observations or n rows. Let's call it df1. Is the time complexity for dplyr's basic manipulation functions O(N)
filter()
select()
mutate() assuming mutate is O(1)
rename()
summarize()
count()
separate()
unite()
spread()
gather()
If I have another data frame/tibble df2 of m rows, then are the following functions of time complexity O(N+M)
inner_join(df1,df2)
right/left_join(df1,df2)
outer_join(df1,df2)
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
