Question
//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.

- During each iteration of Quick Sort algorithm, the first element of array is selected as a pivot. The algorithm for Quick Sort is given below. Modify it in such a way that last element of array should be selected as a pivot at each iteration. Also explain the advantages.arrow_forwardAssume that we have a sorted list in an array: Index: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 numbers: 12 15 17 19 22 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 we want to use the binary search algorithm to find the value 19 in the list. What would be the indexes of the array that the binary search would check to find the value 19 the indexes and not the actual numbers in the list otherwisearrow_forwardPlease written by computer sourcearrow_forward
- Create a merge-sort multithread.A is an array, and p and q are array indexes used to sort the sub-array A[p..r]. B is a subarray that will be filled by the sort. A p-merge-sort(A,p,r,B,s) call sorts items from A[p..r] and places them in B[s..s+r-p].arrow_forwardLet M[1 .. n] be an array, where each entry contains either a positive or a negative integer. Assume that M is already sorted in decreasing order. We want to decide whether there exists an entry M[r] such that M[r] is equal to r.arrow_forward
