- Suppose we are comparing implementations of insertion sort and merge sort on the same machine. For inputs of size n, insertion sort runs in 8n2 steps, while merge sort runs in 32nlogn steps. For which values of n does insertion sort beat merge sort? Group of answer choices: 1. n < 1024 2. n > 1024 3. n < 16 4. n > 16 5. Merge sort is always better since O(nlogn) is better than O(n^2)arrow_forwardSuppose that you sort a large array of integers by using mergesort. Next you use a binary search to determine whether a given integer occurs in the array. Finally, you display all the integers in the sorted array. Which algorithm is faster, in general: the mergesort or the binary search? Justify your answer. Which algorithm is faster, in general: the binary search or displaying the integers?

- A worst-case scenario for a binary tree sort that uses a self-balancing binary search tree is O(n log n) time. The merge sort method is much faster than this one.arrow_forwardIn the worst case, the number of comparisons needed to search a singly linked list of length n for a given element is?a) log2 nb) n⁄2c) log2 n – 1d) narrow_forwardA worst-case binary tree sort using a self-balancing binary search tree takes O(n log n) time. Merge sort is substantially faster.arrow_forward
- In the worst-case scenario, binary tree sort employing a self-balancing binary search tree requires O(n log n) time.arrow_forwardUsing a self-balancing binary search tree, binary tree sort is nevertheless slower than merge sort, taking O(n log n) time in the worst case.arrow_forwardIn the worst-case scenario, binary tree sort employing a self-balancing binary search tree requires O(n log n) time, which is slower than merge sort.arrow_forward
- Binary tree sort employing a self-balancing binary search tree takes O(n log n) time in the worst scenario, slower than merge sort.arrow_forwardPerforming sequential search for an item that is not present in an unsorted list has Best-Case running time equals to: 1 log(n) n n2arrow_forwardEven when employing a self-balancing binary search tree to construct binary tree sort, the worst-case time required is O(n log n), making it slower than merge sort.arrow_forward
