C++arrow_forwardAlert dont submit AI generated answer. Write a modified version of the selection sort algorithm that selects the largest element each time and moves it to the end of the array, rather than selecting the smallest element and moving it to the beginning. Will this algorithm be faster than the standard selection sort? What will its complexity class (big-Oh) be? Code in Java with thorough explanation and notes please.arrow_forwardTrue or False For each statement below, indicate whether you think it is True or False 1) If you have an array with no “holes”, the append function performs at O(1) 2) Inserting an element at the front and shifting all elements performs significantly worse than appending an element at the end of the list 3) For the insert function, if the array is empty, there are no comparison operations that need to be performed and you can immediately add the new element 4) Binary search can be used on an unsorted array to significantly improve its performance from O(n) to O(1) 5) Because the update algorithm depends on using linear search, its performance is O(1) in the worst case scenario 6) If you search for and delete an element in an unsorted array and then shift the rest of the elements to fill the hole, the worst case performance is O(n) 7) If you search for and delete an element in an unsorted array and then move the last element to fill the hole, the worst case performance is O(n)arrow_forward
