- Write an algorithm (based on merge sort) that just checks to see if the array is sorted. A[p…r] 1.) prove its correctness by induction. 2.)analyze runtime (count # comparison)arrow_forwardLet M(n) be the minimum number of comparisons needed to sort an array A with exactly n elements in Merge sort. For example, M(1) = 0, M(2) = 1, and M(4) = 4. If n is an even number, clearly explain why M(n) = 2M(n/2) + n/2.arrow_forwardPlease, answer and provide an explenation.arrow_forward
- Plese Explain Q 5. Thank you.arrow_forwardUsing Java, 1. Implement external sort: for sort phase use normal sort, for merge phase use two way merge to merge n sorted files (merge2way(n)), for array sort use heapsort. Also write merge(f1, f2, f3) to merge two sorted files f1 and f2 into f3.. Write mergenway(n) method and print execution time of both merges for initial input file over 10MB data. A sample input is as follow:Note:Fist input is max array size for sort 10 84 82 52 80 96 85 75 75 82 87 92 89 57 94 93 92 63 99 87 72 73 56 74 50 84 62 72 55 86 75 74 100 83 60 53 68 89 67 66 65 72 94 73 54 98 96 85 75 75 82 87 92 89arrow_forwardBelow is the exercise for unsorted arrays. True or False: For each statement below, indicate whether you think it is True or False 3) For the insert function, if the array is empty, there are no comparison operations that need to be performed and you can immediately add the new element 5) Because the update algorithm depends on using linear search, its performance is O(1) in the worst case scenario 6) If you search for and delete an element in an unsorted array and then shift the rest of the elements to fill the hole, the worst case performance is O(n) 7) If you search for and delete an element in an unsorted array and then move the last element to fill the hole, the worst case performance is O(n)arrow_forward
- Let A = [n, n − 1, n − 2, . . . , 3, 2, 1] be an array where the first n positive integers are listed in decreasing order. Determine whether Heapsort or Quicksort sorts this array faster.For this question, assume the Quicksort pivot is always the right-most element.arrow_forwardALGORITHM Quicksort(A[l..r])//Sorts a subarray by quicksort//Input: Subarray of array A[0..n − 1], defined by its left and right// indices l and r//Output: Subarray A[l..r] sorted in nondecreasing order if l < r s = Partition(A[l..r]) //s is a split position Quicksort(A[l..s − 1]) Quicksort(A[s + 1..r]) The above code is the quicksort algorithm.Perform a time complexity analysis for quicksort. You need to explain 1) what makes a worst case, what makes a best case, 2) the time complexity for both the worst case and the best case, 3) how to avoid the worst case in practice.arrow_forwardLet A be an array, where each of the n elements is a randomly chosen digit between 0 and 9. For example, if n = 12, this array could be A = [3,5,1,0,5,7,9,2,2,8,8,6]. Determine whether Counting Sort or Merge Sort sorts this array faster.arrow_forward
