This problem deals with complexity analysis of a recursive algorithm to rotate the pixels of a bitmap. The algorithm uses a low level operation called a blit, which copies one rectangular chunk of pixels from one location to another. The algorithm works by splitting the bitmap into four sections of equal size, using a sequence of five blits to move the sections into their right place, then recursively rotating each section in the same manner.

function rotate(s) begin if side length of s > 1 then split s into 4 sections blit sections into place for each section loop rotate(section) end loop end if end
