You may just describe the setting without having to give an explicit algorithm to explain the process by which data is stored. You should explain how hardware failures can be detected in your method. Once you have described the setting, include the following to your answer: Write a pseudocode function to describe an algorithm where the stored data can be searched for a value key: if the data is found, its location in the original array should be returned; -1 should be returned if the data is not found; -2 should be returned if there is a data storage error Include a short commentary explaining why your pseudocode works Describe the worst-case and best-case inputs to your search algorithm Derive the worst-case and best-case running times for the search algorithm Derive the Theta notation for the worst-case and best-case running timesarrow_forward
- Write a findSpelling Function -PHP Write a function findSpellings($word, $allWords) that takes a string and an array of dictionary words as parameters. The function should return an array of possible spellings for a misspelled $word. One way to approach this is to use the soundex() Words that have the same soundex are spelled similarly. Return an array of words from $allWords that match the soundex for $word. I have most of the code. How do I append the $sound to the $mathcing array?arrow_forwardPresentation exercise 2 Write a function (including docstring) called multiply_term that takes a polynomial as inputs and a term. We can represent polynomials as a collection or power-coefficient pairs. Consider the following polynomial: p(x) = 2 - a4 – 3. x+ 5. We can represent it as the following collection of pairs: (4, 2), (1, -3), (0, 5). We can represent a term as a tuple where the first value indicated the exponent in the term, and the second its coefficient. For example, the term 5 - a* is represented by the tuple (4, 5). The function does not return anything, but after its execution the input dictionary will now represent the multiplication of the input polynomial by the specified term. For example: Page 2 >> p = {2 : 1, 1 : 2} # x^2 + 2x >>> t = (4, 5) # 5x^4 >>> multiply_term(p, t) >>> p == {6 : 5, 5 10} True You can assume that the function will receive as input a dictionary mapping integers to numbers. No need for you to implement any type of input validation.arrow_forwardIn C++ Please summarize the differences between the following C++ sorting algorithms: Bubble Sort Merge Sort Selection Sort Insertion Sort Quick Sort Provide 2 - 3 sentences about each and your thoughts about working with the code for each.
