A Consider that duplicate elements may occur in the input list to be sorted by the QUICKSORT algorithm. Modify the pseudo code of function PARTITION so that all elgments the same as the pivot will not be considered in the future rounds of recursive calls by QUICKSORT. You may change the parameter setting in PARTITION if you feel the need.

Create an insertion sort implementation that, by positioning the smallest item first, gets rid of the j>0 condition in the inner loop.To determine whether doing so is successful, use SortCompare. Note: By doing this, it is frequently feasible to prevent an index-out-of-bounds test; this element is referred to as a sentinel.
Create an insertion sort implementation that, by positioning the smallest item first, gets rid of the j>0 condition in the inner loop.To determine whether doing so is successful, use SortCompare. This method frequently avoids an index-out-of-bounds test; the component that makes this feasible is referred to as a sentinel.
Implement the three improvements to mergesort Add a cutoff for small subarrays, test whether the array is already in order, and avoid the copy by switching arguments in the recursive code.
Consider the pseudocode for insertion sort. Here, the next element in the unsorted portion of the list is swapped to the left until we find its appropriate location in the sorted part of the list. Describe another approach for determining where the next element belongs in the sorted portion of the list. In the context of sorting a vector in C++, does this affect the overall asymptotic run time of insertion sort? Why or why not?
How to use Python to implement a recursive function with signature find(path, filename) that reports all entries of the file system rooted at the given path having the given file name.
Create an insertion sort implementation that removes the j>0 condition in the inner loop by placing the smallest item first.SortCompare may be used to assess the efficacy of doing so. It is typically feasible to avoid an index-out-of-bounds test in this manner—the element that allows the test to be deleted is referred to as a sentinel.
(This question is for a linked list of the type described on the front page, Item 5). Write a recursive function CountGE60. that receives a linked list (may or may not be empty) and returns the number of nodes (each containing a data item value) greater than or equal to 60.
Modify the FindBestPlan(S) function to create a function FindBestPlan(S, O),where O is a desired sort order for S, and which considers interesting sortorders. A null order indicates that the order is not relevant. Hints: An algorithmA may give the desired order O; if not a sort operation may need to be added to get the desired order. If A is a merge-join, FindBestPlan must be invoked on the two inputs with the desired orders for the inputs.
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)
Now implement the mergesort function. In the base case (len(lst)<2), return the list itself. Otherwise, split the list into a left half and a right half recursively and use the above merge() function to combine sub-results. Note: Use integer division // when computing the length for each subproblem. from random import randint def mergesort(lst):     """Implementation of the MergeSort algorithm.     Precondition: lst is a list containing elements that can be compared.     :param lst - a list of comparable elements     :resut - a list containing all elements in lst in ascending order."""     pass # your code goes here ## wrapper to return a shuffled list, shuffle() updates the input list def shuffled(lst):     result = [elem for elem in lst] ## copy lst     shuffle(result)     return result tests = [          [ [shuffled([n for n in range(20)])], [n for n in range(20)]],          [ [[n for n in range(19,-1,1)]], sorted([n for n in range(19,-1,1)])],          [ [[]], []],…
Someone tries to fix the stack based buffer overflow problem as follows, is it secure now? why? Are there any other issues within the function's implementation below? Explain your reasoning. int bof(char *str, int size) {   char *buffer = (char *) malloc(size);   strcpy(buffer, str);   return 1; }
