- Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. You are a given an array a of length n. Find a subarray a[l..r] with length at least k with the largest median. A median in an array of length n is an element which occupies position number ⌊n+12⌋ after we sort the elements in non-decreasing order. For example: median([1,2,3,4])=2, median([3,2,1])=2, median([2,1,2,1])=1. Subarray a[l..r] is a contiguous part of the array a, i. e. the array al,al+1,…,ar for some 1≤l≤r≤n, its length is r−l+1. Input The first line contains two integers n and k (1≤k≤n≤2⋅105). The second line contains n integers a1,a2,…,an (1≤ai≤n). Output Output one integer m — the maximum median you can get.arrow_forwardYou are given a two-dimensional array A with n rows and n columns such that every element is either 1 or 0, and for every row, the 1s are placed ahead of 0s. Find the quickest algorithm to find a row with the most significant number of 1s. Analyze the time complexity of your algorithm.arrow_forwardQuicksort is a powerful divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm that almost always runs in O(nlogn) time,though it can run in O(n^2) time for certain input arrays, depending on how we choose the pivot. For this question assume that the pivot isalwaysthe last (right-most) element of the input array.There are two main ways that we can code the PARTITION procedure: the Lomuto method and the Hoare method. Question: Clearly explain how the two partition methods work – the Lomuto method and the Hoare method, and how they are different. Finally apply both methods to partition the arrayA= [2, 8, 7, 1, 3, 5, 6, 4], using the pivot A[8] = 4.arrow_forward

Then apply a similar idea todevelop a quadratic algorithm for the 3-sum problem.arrow_forwardalgorithms are solely theoretical for a and b. please number the steps of the algorithm, thank youarrow_forwardCcxxzzarrow_forward
- Describe an algorithm for finding the 10 largest elements in an array of size n. What is the running time of your algorithm?arrow_forwardWrite a version of the bubble sort algorithm that sorts a list of integers in descending order. Namely, change the bubble sort method to sort the parameter array in descending order. Hint: Bubble sort: void bubbleSort(int array(1) { int size = array.length; boolean isChanged = false; for (int i = 0; i < size - 1; i++) isChanged = false; for (int j = 0; j < size . 1 . 1; j++) if (array(s) > array() + 1]) { int temp = array(s); array[3] . arrays + 1); array() + 1] = temp; is Changed = true; } if (isChanged) break;arrow_forwardWrite algorithm method code that demonstrates the Fibonacci search process. The amount of data elements in this case, n, is such that: i) Fk+1 > (n+1); andii) Fk + m = (n +1) for some m ≥ 0, where Fk+1 and Fk are two consecutiveFibonacci numbers.arrow_forward
- Write a java code to implement binary search on a sorted array of size 15. Use random values(integersarrow_forwardQuicksort is a powerful divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm that can be described in just four lines ofpseudocode. The key to Quicksort is the PARTITION(A, p, r) procedure, which inputs elementsptorof array A,and chooses the final element x = A[r] as the pivot element. The output is an array where all elementsto the left ofxare less thanx, and all elements to the right of x are greater than x. In this question, we will use the Lomuto Partition Method from class and assume that the pivot isalwaysthe last (right-most) element of the input array. Question: Let A be an array withn= 2k−1 elements, where k is some positive integer. Determine a formula (in terms of n) for the minimum possible number of total comparisons required by Quicksort, as well as a formula for the maximum possible number of total comparisons required by Quicksort. Use your formulas to show that the running time of Quicksort is O(nlogn) in the best case and O(n2) in the worst case.arrow_forwardConsider sorting n numbers stored in array A[1:n] by first finding the smallestelement of A[1:n] and exchanging it with the element in A[1]. Then find thesmallest element of A[2:n], and exchange it with A[2]. Then find the smallestelement of A[3:n], and exchange it with A[3]. Continue in this manner for thefirst n-1 elements of A. Write pseudocode for this algorithm, which is knownas selection sort. What loop invariant does this algorithm maintain? Why does itneed to run for only the first n-1 elements, rather than for all n elements? Give theworst-case running time of selection sort in big theta notation. Is the best-case runningtime any better?arrow_forward
