Assume a sorted character array of size n = 26. It contains all the capital letters, i.e, 'A' to 'Z', in increasing order as array elements. Let the search key be equal to 'X' (upper case letter). What is the last letter that will be compared with the search key using a binary search algorithm? You may choose not to enclose your answer within a pair of single quotes.

Suppose we are performing a binary search on a sorted vector initialized as follows: // index 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13vector<int>numbers {-23, -5, 9, 14, 15, 18, 23, 24, 25, 29, 34, 62, 85, 87};intindex=binarySearch(numbers, 25); Write the indexes of the elements that would be examined by the binary search (the mid values in our algorithm's code) and write the value that would be returned from the search. Now suppose we are performing both an iterative (loop-based) sequential search and then a recursive binary search on the same list. The sequential search is a standard version that does not take any advantage of the sortedness of the list, simply looking each element in order from the start to the end of the list. Suppose we are searching the list for the value 25. Also suppose that we are operating on a special computer where reading an element's value in the list (such as examining the value of numbers[0]) costs 7 units of time; calling any…

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].
