Question
Hi, could you create an algorithm using psuedocode for this problem:
Consider a problem in which you have a set of n keys and n locks. Every key corresponds to exactly
one lock, and every lock corresponds to exactly one key (this correspondence means that all items are
unique, no duplicate keys or locks are present). Create an algorithm that efficiently (less than O(n2) time)
pairs up every lock with its corresponding key. By fitting a lock and key together, you can see if fit is
correct (the single match), if the lock is too small for the key, or if the lock is too large for the key. As
part of this algorithm, you cannot compare lock A to lock B, nor key A to key B (no direct comparison
between members of the same set).

- Write an efficient algorithm for the following problem (either pseudocode or java), and describe your reasoning. Determine the Time complexity and if you cannot find any polynomial time algorithm, then give a backtracking algorithm. Problem will be on repeat numbers input will be ARRAY[1,2, ... , n] number of positive numbes. Output will any one number that is repeated more than n/3 times. for example, if you have [1,1,2,2,2,1], since n = 6 and n/3 = 2, both 1 and 2 showed up more than n/3 times. the output will be either 1 or 2 (just one of the values are required) if you have [1,1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], since 1 is only repeated twice, and n/3 = 3, output will be "none"arrow_forwardYou want to design an algorithm, called minMax(A,p,r), that takes an array of integers and indexes of the first and last elements, and returns the minimum and maximum values in that range. Now write the pseudo code of a divide and conquer (and therefore, recursive) algorithm with the same time complexity (Θ(n)). You can assume that p ≤ r. Also, in your code, you can return two numbers by returning a pair, e.g. “return (a, b)”, and can save the output in a similar way, e.g. “(a, b) = minMax(parameters)”. (Short answer please)arrow_forwardConsider a variation of the Bucket Sort algorithm which uses an unknown number of buckets. We're given that the worst-case runtime of the algorithm is O(n.), Let the number of buckets be n* (n to the power of x). Fill in the following box with the proper numeric value of x such that the algorithm has the given runtime. For example, you could fill in 0, 1, 2, 3, 3.14 4.2, etc. Recall that we use Insertion Sort to sort each bucket. Answer:arrow_forward
- Write a program that, given an array a[] of Ndouble values, finds a closest pair : two values whose difference is no greater than thethe difference of any other pair (in absolute value). The running time of your programshould be linearithmic in the worst casearrow_forwardCreate an efficient java code to solve the problem by using Greedy algorithm only.arrow_forwardGiven a sequence of integers, e.g., \[ 9,-1,45,6,8,21,34,5,55,65,543,18,90,122,132,0,66,100,-12,17 \] design an algorithm/method to re-arrange the order of the data items (i.e., form a new sequence of the integers) so that when the data items are inserted sequentially into an initially empty BST, the newly created BST will be a balanced BST. a) Design the algorithm (in pseudo code) and analyse your algorithm. b) Write a Python function/method to implement your algorithm. c) Write a program that calls the above function, thereby demonstrating your algorithm by (i). Print the re-arranged data items (i.e., a new sequence) generated by the algorithm, and (ii). Build a BST using the newly generated data sequence as input (that is, insert the data items, oneby-one, into an initially empty BST). Print the tree shape of the BST. (Note: The program should use at least two datasets to demonstrate the algorithm, one of which is the dataset given above).arrow_forward
