We consider an improvement for the linear search by organizing the list based upon
frequency of access. What is not one of the three often used heuristics involving
maintaining this frequency as discussed in our lecture?
move to front
mark and replace
transpose
order by count
all of these
none of these
Analyze the algorithm (best and worst case) and solve the modeled equation resulting from the analysis. Where (ArrayList args) is a list of elements.
Given an array of 1000 integers:
a. In the best-case scenario, what is the fewest possible comparisons needed to find a number using linear search?
b. In the worst-case scenario, what is the most number of comparisons needed to find a number using linear search?
c. How many comparisons will be done if we attempt to search for a number that does not exist in the list using linear search?

- Run mergesort for large random arrays, and make an empirical determination of the average length of the other subarray when the first subarray exhausts, as a function of N (the sum of the two subarray sizes for a given merge).arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Today we will play a red and white shading game (no, this isn't the Russian Civil War; these are only the shades of the Canadian banner). You are given a n×m matrix of "R", "W", and "." characters. "R" is red, "W" is white and "." is clear. The neighbors of a cell are those that share an edge with it (those that main offer a corner don't count). Your responsibility is to shading the clear cells red or white so every red cell just has white neighbors (and no red ones) and each white cell just has red neighbors (and no white ones). You are not permitted to recolour currently hued cells. Input The primary line contains t (1≤t≤100), the number of experiments. In each experiment, the principal line will contain n (1≤n≤50) and m (1≤m≤50), the tallness and width of the network separately. The following n lines will contain the matrix. Each character of the matrix is either 'R', 'W', or '.'.

Write some pseudocode for the algorithm and discuss its time complexity. Compare it with other plausible ways of achieving the same result. [Notes: Use zero-based indexing. You may assume for simplicity that all the elements of the vector are different].arrow_forward
- Compute the code that return the matrix M=(A^T)*A for a given matrix A - the superscrupt T denoted the transpose. I have started the code for you, which gets the dimension of the matrix, and creates the zero matrix of the correct size. I have also provided some of the loops involved.arrow_forwardcreate an implementation strategy To count the pairings that total to zero once the array is sorted, TwoSumFaster uses a linear method as opposed to the binary-search-based linearithmic approach. Then, develop a quadratic technique for the 3-sum problem using a related idea.arrow_forwardHere is my question that I have from my algorithms' class. Modify the linear-time an an algorithm for the maximum-subarray problem so it will also return the location of the maximum subarray.arrow_forward
- The goal of this problem is to walk from cell (0, 0) to cell (m, n) of a two-dimensional array. Each step must be either to the right or downward. So you can step from cell (1, 1) to cell (1, 2) or (2, 1). but not from (1, 1) to (0, 1) or (1,0). You are given a toll matrix, where each cell contains a toll that must be paid upon entry into that cell. The goal is to make it from cell (0, 0) to cell (m, n) while paying the smallest possible total toll. Does a greedy algorithm work? Think it out. Write a dynamic programming algorithm that finds the minimum possible total toll. It does not need to do reconstruction and say how to achieve that total toll.arrow_forwardLet A[1...N] be a maxheap. Design an algorithm to change the array A into a minheap as theoutput. Briefly explain the main idea of your algorithm and then present the pseudocode of it.Additional space consumptions for carrying out the algorithm, e.g., additional arrays or linkedlists, should be minimized. You may assume that the standard function swap() is given. How do I solve this question?arrow_forwardGiven an unsorted array A of size N that contains only positive integers, find a continuous sub-array that adds to a given number S and return the left and right index(1-based indexing) of that subarray. In case of multiple subarrays, return the subarray indexes which come first on moving from left to right. Note:- You have to return an ArrayList consisting of two elements left and right. In case no such subarray exists return an array consisting of element -1. Code please.arrow_forward
- Show how quicksort can be made to run in O(nlogn) time in the worst case. Assume the input array is A[0:n-1] and all elements in A are distinct. Write your answer as pseudo-code and use plain language to explain the idea of your algorithm. (Hint: you can use any algorithm helper functions in parts of the designed algorithm. If you use an algorithm, you can directly call the function name in the pseudo-code without expanding the details of the helper function, as long as you clearly explain the meaning of the helper function.)arrow_forwardGive a clear description after efficient algorithm for finding the ith smallest element of an n_element vector write some pueudocode for the algorithm and discuss its time complexity.Compare it with other plausible ways of achieving the same results[notes:use zero_based indexing.you may assume for simplicity that all the element of the vector are different.arrow_forwardQuestion A: Mapping. The two-sum problem is a popular algorithm problem. Given an array of integers and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to the target. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice. For example, suppose we have an array arr = [1,10,100]. If the target is 11, you should return [0,1] because arr[0] + arr[1] = 1+ 10 = 11. If the target is 101, you should return [0,2] because arr[0] + arr[2] = 1+ 100 = 101. Complete this problem in O(n). Hint: using a hash table.arrow_forward
