Given an array of unsorted integers, find the maximum product of two integers in an array. For example, if the arc = [10, 8, -1, 7, 14] then the maximum product would be 140, as output of (10 x 14). To solve this problem, the following idea can be used: - Design a brute-force algorithm to solve this problem using a Pseudocode and find its complexity - Another solution would be "Sort the array first, and then to get the product of its highest two integers". Is this idea better that the first one? Explain why? - Is there any extreme case that should be considered while designing your algorithm? Justify your answer. - Design your own idea to solve this problem in O(n) complexity, where n is the size of the array. [note: your idea should be explained in simple English, and then transformed into algorithm (pseudocode)].

Design an algorithm to find all pairs of integers within an array which sum to a specified value (assume for simplicity that the array has distinct elements). For example, for the array A[2 5 3 6 4] and sum = 8, it prints (2,6) and (3,5). Provide a brute-force solution. What is the worst-case running time of this solution and why using only informal justification. Then try to find a better solution, and show how its worst-case running time is better.

Problem: Binary Array Core Input: Two integers p and q and a binary array A[1...n], i.e., each entry contains either a 0 or 1. Output: Print Yes - if there exists a subarray A[i...k], where 1<= i < k <= n, with exactly p zeros in A[1...i-1] (there may be 1s) and exactly q ones in A[k+1...n] (there may be 0s). Print No - otherwise.

Find a sorted matrix: The input is a real number x and a matrix A[1..n, 1..m] of nm real numbers, with each row A[i, 1..m] and column A[1..n, j] sorted. The objective is to locate the largest array entry A[i, j] that is less than or equal to x, or to report that all components of A are greater than x. Create and test an iterative method that analyses as few matrix elements as feasible. Be cautious if you assume a simple binary search would fix the problem.

You are given an unsorted array A[1, ..., n].We know that the maximum (or minimum) element in the array can be found in (n-1) comparisons.Write an algorithm that finds both the maximum and the minimum element in the array in ~(3n/2) comparisons, i.e., (3n/2) + THETA(1) comparisons.
For the problem, give pseudocode for your solution, and remember to include a proof of correctness and runtime. Note that in general, faster algorithms will receive more credit, so a brute force O(n 2 ) algorithm will not get many points if there is a faster O(n) or O(n log n) alterative. In IR2 , we define a slab to be a pair of parallel lines. Given a set of points P in IR2 , find the narrowest slab containing P, where the width of the slab is the vertical distance between its bounding lines.
Consider the problem of finding the smallest and largest elements in an array of n numbers. For solving this problem, design, respectively, a brute-force algorithm, a divide-and-conquer algorithm, and a presorting-based (transform-and-conquer) algorithm. determine and compare the efficiency in Big-O notation of the above three algorithms.
A matrix is an array of numbers of size m by n (i.e., m x n). When we multiply 2 matrices, we multiply the matching numbers, then sum them up. Multiplying a matrix of size m x n with another matrix of size n x q will result in a matrix of size m x q. An example is shown in Figure 1: [ ? ? ? ? ? ? ] x [ ? ? ? ? ] = [ ?? +?? ?? + ?? ?? + ?? ?? + ?? ?? + ?? ?? + ?? ] Matrix 3 x 2 Matrix 2 x 2 Matrix 3 x 2 Figure 1: Multiplication of Matrix 3 x 2 and 2 x 2 Write a C++ program that multiplies 2 matrices and return the sum of the transposed matrix.
