Grammar
countable or uncountable
Hi everyone.
I have a sentence like that: "IIR filter has low complexity". But when checking the document for me, my lecture changed it into "IIR filter has a low complexity".
Does anyone tell me which is the correct and why? Thank you very much

'complexity' is uncountable in your sentence. Still, since it's modified by an adjective (low), it is possible to use an a before it (this is often the case with uncountable nouns). Your version doesn't seem wrong either.

BTW, IIR filter is countable and requires an article (An IIR filter...)
