Answer the following question for basic sorting algorithms. Here is an array of 7 integers: (1) 8 3 2 0 1 9 7 Draw this array after the FIRST iteration of the large loop in a selection sort (sorting from smallest to largest, and always pick the smallest element in each iteration). Here is an array of 7 integers: (1) 8 3 2 0 1 9 7 Draw this array after the FIRST iteration of the large loop in a bubble sort (sorting from smallest to largest).
Consider sorting a list of items that are in reverse sorted order. If you were forced to pick between the three iterative sorting algorithms (bubble sort, selection sort, or insertion sort) to work through this set and place it into normal (ascending) sorted order, which would you pick and why?
Which of the sorting algorithms you know from the lecture (Quicksort, Heapsort, Mergesort, Insertionort, Selectionsort, Bubblesort, Bucketsort, Radixsort) are stable and which are not? Here, to, a brief justification should be given in each case.
Present an example of walking through the merge sort or the quick sort algorithm (your choice) This is an algorithm tracing activity, not a coding exercise. Do not post any code or code output. Post the following for merge sort: Start with an unordered list of at least NINE elements. List all the recursive calls that would be made to sort the list, going forward. Show which pair of sub-lists will be merged each time, going back. Show the ordering of the sub-list after each recursive call returns. Post the following for quick sort: Start with an unordered list of at least NINE elements. State what element will be the pivot value (use only low index or median-of-three). List all the recursive calls that would be made to sort the list. Show the ordering of the sub-list after each recursive call returns.
The bubble sort algorithm is used to sort the following sequence of integers: 3 32 19 41 27 20 7 •How many passes must the algorithm perform to guarantee the entire sequence is sorted?•What is the list obtained after the first pass?•What is the list obtained after the third pass?•What is the list obtained after the final pass? Please break this down in steps. Thank you!
Consider the Sort-and-Count algorithm explained in section 5.3 of our text: "Counting Inversions"Suppose that the initial list is: 92 71 36 91 27 48 14 34 81 26 24 65 78 51 37 22 Sort-and-Count makes two recursive calls. The first recursive call inputs the first half of the initial list: 92 71 36 91 27 48 14 34 and returns the sorted version of the first half, as well as the number of inversions found in the first half (22). The second recursive call inputs the second half of the initial list: 81 26 24 65 78 51 37 22 and returns the sorted version of the second half, as well as the number of inversions found in the second half (19). Sort-and-Count then calls Merge-and-Count. To Merge-and-Count, Sort-and-Count passes the sorted versions of the two halves of the original list: 14 27 34 36 48 71 91 92, and 22 24 26 37 51 65 78 81 Merge-and-Count begins merging the two half-lists together, while counting…
Are there any other sorting algorithms that could potentially perform better than the Mergesort algorithm? Provide and justify your recommendation.
Discuss the following sorting algorithms in detailed manner and provide illustrations for the step by step process. Insertion Sort
Design and implement an algorithm using recursion and backtracking to sort an array of integers into ascending order. Consider the given array as input and produce a sorted array as output. Each time you take an integer from the input array, place it at the end of the output array. If the result is unsorted, backtrack.
Implement a quicksort with a sample size of 2k 1. Sort the sample first, then have the recursive procedure partition on the sample's median and shift the two halves of the rest of the sample to each subarray so that they may be utilised in the subarrays without having to be sorted again. This algorithm is known as samplesort. Put into practise a quicksort based on a 2k sample. The sample should be sorted first, after which you should set up the recursive procedure to split the sample based on its median and to shift the two halves of the remaining sample to each subarray so they can be utilised in the subarrays without needing to be sorted again. The name of this algorithm is samplesort.
Assuming, starting from the top left, rows and columns are indexed from 0 on a chessboard, one can solve the N-queens problem, with N any positive integer, with the following pseudo code: placeQueen (row) { for(col = 0; col < N; ++col) { if board [row][col] is open { place queen in board [row][col] if(row < N) placeQueen(row+1) else done remove queen from board[row][col] } } } Is this an example of excessive recursion? Give a reason.
