Using recursion, write a Python function def before(k,A) which takes an integer k and an array A of integers as inputs and returns a new array consisting of all the integers in A which come before the last occurrence of k in A, in the same order they are in A. For example, if A is [1,2,3,6,7,2,3,4] then before(3,A) will return [1,2,3,6,7,2]. If k does not occur in A, the function should return None.
Write a Python function def isSubArray(A,B) which takes two arrays and returns True if the first array is a (contiguous) subarray of the second array, otherwise it returns False. You may solve this problem using recursion or iteration or a mixture of recursion and iteration. For an array to be a subarray of another, it must occur entirely within the other one without other elements in between. For example: [31,7,25] is a subarray of [10,20,26,31,7,25,40,9] [26,31,25,40] is not a subarray of [10,20,26,31,7,25,40,9] A good way of solving this problem is to make use of an auxiliary function that takes two arrays and returns True if the contents of the first array occur at the front of the second array, otherwise it returns False. Then, A is a subarray of B if it occurs at the front of B, or at the front of B[1:], or at the front of B[2:], etc. Note you should not use A == B for arrays.
Write pseudocode for a function Det-Quicksort(A, p, r) that receives array A[1..n], and indices p and r. The function should sort the subarray A[p..r] recursively (meaning you should call itself). You can also use a function LinearSearch(A, p, r, v) that searches subarray A[p..r] for an element of value v and return its index (in case it exists) in O(r − p) time. (Just to give you something to compare to, the solution has 8 lines.)
Language: C Implement the binary search algorithm, to find an integer in a sorted array. a) Declare an array of N integers. Use the preprocessor #define directive for the size of the array. Let the first element be 0. Fill the array, by assigning to each element the value of the previous element plus a pseudorandom, nonnegative number. b) Given a sorted array of N integers, write a function to recursively search for a given element x in and return the index of x in the array, or -1 if the element is not found. To this end, divide the interval into two halves. If the value of the element is less than the item in the middle of the interval, search further in the lower half of the interval, otherwise, search it in the upper half. c) Test your results, searching for randomly picked element from the array.
Given the following function, what happens if a[] contains just one element that doesn't match val? int binarySearch(int a[], int first, int last, int val){ if (first > last) return -1; int middle = (first + last) / 2; if (a[middle] == val) return middle; if (a[middle] < val) return binarySearch(a, middle+1, last, val); else return binarySearch(a, first, middle-1, val);} Group of answer choices binarySearch never calls itself again and terminates (recursion never happens) binarySearch calls itself once then terminates (recursion happens once) binarySearch calls itself twice then terminates (recursion happens twice) binarySearch calls itself 3 times then terminates (recursion happens 3 times)
For the problems given below, determine whether it is more efficient to use a divide and conquer strategy or a dynamic programming strategy, explain your reason. Give the recursion formula for each. (3*4=12) Find the average of a given set of unsorted numbers. Find whether there is a subset of integers in a given set that adds up to 8 Given a set of numbers, can they set be partitioned into two groups such that the sum of each group is equal; i.e 1,5,11,5 can be partitioned to 1,5,5 and 11
Write a recursive function using python for the problem: A palindrome is a sequence of characters which is the same when the sequence is reversed. Given an array A indexed from p to q containing characters, determine if the sequence of characters in A[p..q] forms a palindrome. Return True is a palindrome is formed and return False if it does not.
You want to design an algorithm, called minMax(A,p,r), that takes an array of integers and indexes of the first and last elements, and returns the minimum and maximum values in that range. Now write the pseudo code of a divide and conquer (and therefore, recursive) algorithm with the same time complexity (Θ(n)). You can assume that p ≤ r. Also, in your code, you can return two numbers by returning a pair, e.g. “return (a, b)”, and can save the output in a similar way, e.g. “(a, b) = minMax(parameters)”. (Short answer please)
The drawback of this approach, is that with each recursive function call, we only reduce the size of the array by one element, and we use a storage space for one activation record. A faster approach is, with each recursive call, reduce the size of the array by 3 elements. a. Write a reduce-and-conquer recursive function FastRecSum()(C++ or python) that find the sum of all float (real) elements in an array of size n. b. Using addition of float (real) values as a basic operation, set up and solve a recurrence relationship to compute the complexity of your code, as a function of the size n of the array.
I just need the method they are asking for Write a recursive function that takes a start index, array of integers, and a target sum. Your goal is to find whether a subset of the array of integers adds up to the target sum. The start index is initially 0.A target sum of 0 is true for any array. Examples: subsetSum(0, {2, 4, 8}, 10) -> true public boolean subsetSum(int start, int[] nums, int target) { }
Implement a recursive C++ function which takes an array of integers (arr) and the starting (start) andending (end) indices of a portion (part) of this array, and returns the index of thelargest element present in that portion of array arr. The prototype of your function should be:int findLargest (int* arr, int start, int end) For example, the function call findLargest(arr,3,8)should determine and return the index of the largest element present in the array arr between the indices 3and 8 (both inclusive)
