Question
(Python)
Write a function that takes in a list (L) as input, and returns the number of inversions. An inversion in L is a pair of elements x and y such that x appears before y in L, but x > y. Your function must run in -place and implement the best possible algorithm of time complexity.
def inversions(L: List) -> int:
'''finds and returns the number of inversions'''

- Please write a function PythQuad(n) in python that generates a list of pythagorean quadruples (x,y,z,w) such that x <= y <= z <= w < n. Please do not use a triply nested loop, use the properties of a pythagorean quadruple to write the function.arrow_forwardhave been given a singly linked list of integers. Write a function that returns the index/position of integer data denoted by 'N' (if it exists). Return -1 otherwise. Note :Assume that the Indexing for the singly linked list always starts from 0.Input format :The first line contains an Integer 'T' which denotes the number of test cases. The first line of each test case or query contains the elements of the singly linked list separated by a single space. The second line contains the integer value 'N'. It denotes the data to be searched in the given singly linked list. Remember/Consider :While specifying the list elements for input, -1 indicates the end of the singly linked list and hence -1 would never be a list element. Output format :For each test case, return the index/position of 'N' in the singly linked list. Return -1, otherwise. Output for every test case will be printed in a separate line. Note:You do not need to print anything; it has already been taken care of. Just implement…arrow_forwardThis is for Python version 3.8.5 and please include pseudocode. nums = [8, 15, 6, 17, 33, 20, 14, 9, 12]Write Python code that: uses a function to print the size of the list named nums uses a function to print the largest number in nums prints the element 14 by using its index makes a slice named subnums containing only 33, 20, and 14arrow_forward
