This paper explores the distinctions between O(log(n)) and O(sqrt(n)) in algorithm complexity, using mathematical proofs, intuitive explanations, and code examples to clarify why they are not equivalent. Starting from the definition of Big O notation, it proves via limit theory that log(n) = O(sqrt(n)) but the converse does not hold. Through intuitive comparisons of binary digit counts and function growth rates, it explains why O(log(n)) is significantly smaller than O(sqrt(n)). Finally, algorithm examples such as binary search and prime detection illustrate the practical differences, helping readers build a clear framework for complexity analysis.
