Thread: question about code's time complexity

suppose that we have some while loop that runs at most n^2 times

if the while loop runs only when an element exists in an array(you have to find the element and it's index) then does that mean that the complexity is O(n^3)?

Code:

bool find(int &i, array){
 
    int j;
    for(j=0;j<size_of_array;j++){
          if(array[j] == something) {
                        i = j;
                        break;

            }

}


 

int main(void) {


 ... 
  
 while(find(...)){

           run n^2 times

        }

}

thanks in advance

thanks kmdv
