1.) Suppose that you sort a large array of integers by using a merge sort. Next you use a binary search to determine whether a given integer occurs in the array. Finally, you display all of the integers in the sorted array.
a.) Which algorithm is faster, in general: the merge sort or the binary search? Explain in terms of Big O notation.
b.) Which algorithm is faster, in general: the binary search or displaying the integers? Explain in terms of Big O notation

Three animals stand next to each other by size, as follows: An Elephant, followed by a Hippo, followed by a Panda bear, [E, H, P]. Your goal is to re-arrange them so that they are sorted in the opposite size-based order. You are only allowed to switch positions of neighboring animals. Do not use Insertion or Merge sort. Try to use your own strategy to re-arrange the array. (a) How many operations do you need to reverse the order of the three animals? (b) Let’s generalize the above. You have an array of n elements whose ordering you want to revers. Write pseudo code to do this. (c) How many operations do you need to reverse the ordering of an array of n? Your answer should be a function of n.arrow_forwardJava-.Selection and insertion sort 3.a Show steps of selection sort for the given array. You may need to add more rows to the table.

- Assume nums is an array of integers that looks like this: -3 12 9 0 2 -1 If we are sorting from smallest to largest, what will nums look like after 2 times through the outside loop if we are using bubble sort? Note: When you're entering the values, make sure you leave at least one space between them. Would it be possible to perform a linear search on a 2-D array? Answers: Yes, but you would be limited to using only one loop No, because a 2-D array is not stored in linear fashion in RAM Yes, as long as you used the proper nested loops No, you would have to use a binary search Yes, but only if the array's elements were sortedarrow_forwardThe optimised bubble sort offers none of the following benefits over conventional sorts for items that have already been sorted.arrow_forwardSelect all the statements that are false, bubble sort is defined below:* Quicksort is the fastest sorting algorithm If you are lucky, you can get O(n) time complexity in Mergesort On the worst case, Bubble sort will give you O(n logn) time complexity Average time complexity of insertion sort is much better than bubble sort Selection sort has the worst space complexity among all the sorting algorithmarrow_forward
