Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Divide and Conquer Sorting Algorithms
A divide and conquer sorting algorithm:
- ○ is used when multiple programmers are working together
- ○ requires less memory than "sort-in-place" algorithms
- ○ is always the fastest sorting method
- ● uses recursion to partition the input and sort smaller sub-arrays
The fourth option is selected, indicating the correct characteristic of divide and conquer sorting algorithms, such as QuickSort and MergeSort. These algorithms work by recursively dividing the data into smaller sub-arrays, sorting each sub-array, and then combining them into a final sorted array. This approach is efficient and leverages the power of recursion to manage complex sorting tasks.

Transcribed Image Text:The selection of a pivot value in Quick Sort...
- can have a significant impact on run time performance
- is best chosen from kernel memory
- must be either the maximum or minimum value in the array
- requires that we scan the entire array to find the "middle" value

- Write a C program that gets a positive integer number, n, from the user, and generates n positive random integer values and stores them in a one-dimensional array. Then it starts the timer and sorts the numbers in ascending order using bubble sort technique and display the sorted array on the screen along with the elapsed time. • Bubble Sort is a simple sorting algorithm that works by continually swapping the adjacent elements in an unsorted array if they are not in a right order. Please explain each step as I would like to understand and not copy. Thank you!arrow_forwardWrite an algorithm to sort elements in an array with selection sort in pseudocode. You will be given an array, and you need to sort the elements in ascending order. ps: Some things to keep in mind: sorting is not required if the given array has a length of 0 or 1. You should take care to ensure that you start with the smallest element, and swap it to the front of the array. From there, compare each successive element with all previous elements and place them correctly, repeating the process until it's all sorted. ======================================================================================= Write an algorithm to sort elements in an array with insertion sort in pseudocode.

- Implement the following two sorting algorithms in a program called p3.py. Write two separate functions for these algorithms. Both functions must take a list of integers as the input parameter.1) Bogosort: first shuffle the list argument (i.e., randomize the positions of every element) and then check to see if the result is in sorted order. If it is, the algorithm terminates successfully and returns True, but if it is not then the process must be repeated.2) Bozosort: choose two elements in the list at random, swap them, and then check if the result is in sorted order. If it is, the algorithm terminates successfully and returns True, but if it is not then the process must be repeated.Write a main() function and call both sorting functions using the same list as their arguments. The list can be of any size (try a small list first). Does any of your algorithms terminate? If yes, count the number of iterations it uses to sort the list. Does it always use the same number of repetitions? If…arrow_forwardQuicksort is a powerful divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm that can be described in just four lines ofpseudocode. The key to Quicksort is the PARTITION(A, p, r) procedure, which inputs elementsptorof array A,and chooses the final element x = A[r] as the pivot element. The output is an array where all elementsto the left ofxare less thanx, and all elements to the right of x are greater than x. In this question, we will use the Lomuto Partition Method from class and assume that the pivot isalwaysthe last (right-most) element of the input array. Question: Let A be an array withn= 2k−1 elements, where k is some positive integer. Determine a formula (in terms of n) for the minimum possible number of total comparisons required by Quicksort, as well as a formula for the maximum possible number of total comparisons required by Quicksort. Use your formulas to show that the running time of Quicksort is O(nlogn) in the best case and O(n2) in the worst case.arrow_forwardPlease help with this question.
