You have at your disposal, a genie, who can return the index or all indices (in case of duplicates) of a given data in 2 nanosecond. What is the Big-O order of an algorithm that uses such a genie to determine the locations in the list of a given data? Explain your answer in detail. Note: you do not need to write any code for this question. b. How would the Big-O order change in problem a., if the genie were to take time proportional to the number of duplicates?

Write a program in java for the below given problem statement: Given 2 sorted arrays (in increasing order), find a path through the intersection that produces themaximum sum and return the maximum sum. That is, we can switch from one array to another array only atcommon elements. If no intersection element is present, we need to take the sum of all elements from thearray with greater sum.Sample Input:61 5 10 15 20 2552 4 5 9 15Sample Output :81Explanation :We start from array 2 and take sum till 5 (sum = 11). Then we'll switch to array at element 10 and take till15. So sum = 36. Now, no elements are left in array after 15, so we'll continue in array 1. Hence the sum is81.
You are given a string X of length n and another string Y of length m ≤n. Say,the indexes p1, p2, p3, p4 and q1, q2, q3, q4 form two sub-sequences, i.e., 0 ≤ p1 < p2 < p3 < p4 < nand 0 ≤q1 < q2 < q3 < q4 < n; then, they are non-overlapping if p4 < q1.The task is to count the maximum number of non-overlapping sub-sequences of X that are thesame as Y . Thus, if X = GAXTYAWBGTAUGBTABGRGTAXB and Y = GTAB, then the answer is3 as shown by the red fonts. We cannot select the underlined GTAB as it overlaps with a red GTAB(i.e., among overlapping sub-sequences, you can select only one of them).Describe an O(m + n) time algorithm to obtain the count. Write a pseudo-code.
Create a python code that takes a list and find the sequence of consecutive numbers where the absolute difference of the odd and even indexed numbers are maximum. The code must have a worst-case complexity of O(n*log[n]), you can use a divide-and-conquer approach in the code.input 1: [86, 43, 45, 68, 21]output 1: 0, 1, 2explanation: 86 + 45 - 43 = 8843 + 68 - 45 = 6645 + 21 - 68 = |-2| or 286 + 45 + 21 - 43 - 68 = 41since 88 is the highest, we return 0, 1, 2
Consider an array A of N values (N entered by the user). Write a C program that creates a second array B such that the i-th element of B, i.e., B[i] is equal to A[0] *A[1] * A[2] * ... A[i]; In other words:- B[0] = A[0]- B[1] = A[0] * A[1];- B[2] = A[0] * A[1] * A[2];- B[3] = A[0] * A[1] * A[2] * A[3]- ....etc.For this exercise, we would like to implement two solutions and compare their complexity /performance in terms of computation time.Solution 1: Implement blindly the following algorithms: for each element B[i], compute A[0] *A[1] * A[2] * .... *A[i] and save the result in B[i];To test the solution, create an array A of 1000 elements and initialize each of its elements with arandom value (instead of asking the user to .

The linked list provided below:2 > 3 > 1 > 7 > 5 > 18 > NULLHere the > symbol means a pointer.Write a complete Python program which deletes the third last node of thelist and returns to you the list as below2 > 3 > 1 > 5 > 18 > NULLThe third last node (with a value 7) has now been dislodged from the list.Here are the few things to consider :(a) We do NOT know the length of the list.(b) Your solution should be in O(n) time and O(1) space having madejust a single pass through the list.
Write a programme that, given an array of N double values, a[], discovers the closest pair, or two values whose difference (in absolute value) is not higher than that of any other pair. In the worst scenario, your program's execution time should be linearithmic.
You are given a list of randomly arranged numbers, for example (11,7,18,5,17,13). The triple (11,7, 5) is called the "inversion triple" because (5<7<11) in terms of value, while the index of 5 in the list is greater than the index of 7, and the index of 7 is greater than 11. Therefore, we can find 2 inversions in such list as follows: (11,7,5), and (18,17,13). Your main task is to find the total number of inversions in any given list. a) Design a brute-force algorithm to return the number of possible inversions, and analyse the complexity of your solution b) Develop a python code to implement your brute-force algorithm. [The marks depend on the correctness of the code, indentation, comments, test-case] c) Design a more efficient algorithm to do the same task with less complexity, and analyse the complexity of your solution.

Consider sorting n numbers stored in array A by first finding the smallest elementof A and exchanging it with the element in A[1]. Then find the second smallestelement of A, and exchange it with A[2]. Continue in this manner for the first n-1elements of A. Write pseudocode for this algorithm, which is known as selectionsort. What loop invariant does this algorithm maintain? Why does it need to run foronly the first n - 1 elements, rather than for all n elements? Give the best-case andworst-case running times of selection sort in Θ -notation.
Problem Alice was given a number line containing every positive integer, x, where 1<=x<=n. She was also given m line segments, each having a left endpoint, l (1<=l<=n), a right endpoint, r (1<=r<=n), and an integer weight, w. Her task is to cover all numbers on the given number line using a subset of the line segments, such that the maximum weight among all the line segments in the chosen subset is minimal. In other words, let S=(l1,r1,w1),(l2,r2,w2),....,(lk,rk,wk), represent a set of k line segments chosen by Alice, max(w1,w2,...,wk) should be minimized. All numbers 1,2,....n should be covered by at least one of k the chosen line segments. It is okay for the chosen line segments to overlap. You program should output the minimized maximum weight in the chosen subset that covers all the numbers on the number line, or -1 if it is not possible to cover the number line. Input format The first line of the input contains an integer, n - denoting the range of numbers…
We learned how to merge two ordered lists with the two-finger method, and we generalizedthis to merge k ordered lists, to obtain one sorted list with all the n items. k is a parameter that canbe set as needed, as long as 2 ≤ k ≤ n. However, for some values of k it is faster to simply sort all thenumbers ignoring the initial order. For which (big O) range of k is worth to merge the lists rather thansort?
