Consider the following description of an algorithm: first, sort the data. Then, search for the target data element using binary search. If we assume that the sorting algorithm will take O(n2) time, what is the best big O estimate of the total algorithm time?
O(log n)
O(n^2 log n)
O(n)
O(n^2)
A program with sorting searching algorithm which uses an algorithm of O(n^2) and binary search to search for an algorithm will have a time complexity of O(n^2).
Explanation:
Suppose the following algorithm:
for i <- 1 to n do
for j <-1 to n do
//some O(1) expressions
end for
end for
for i <- 1 to n
//some O(1) expression
end for
This algorithm has two 2 parts, 1st part contains a nested loop and other a single loop. 1st part will have a time complexity of O(n^2). Second part will have a time complexity of O(n)
So the total time complexity will be O(n^2 + n) which is ultimately O(n^2).
Similarly, The total time complexity of your algorithm will be O(n^2 + logn) (binary search time complexity is O(logn)) which is ultimately O(n^2)

Selection Sort is a common algorithm to sort the elements of an array. First, it scans the elements of the array to find the smallest value and places it at index 0, thus creating a sorted “subarray” of size 1 that contains the smallest value. Then it scans the remaining unsorted values for the new smallest value and places it at index 1, creating a sorted subarray of size 2 that contains the 2 smallest values. It continues in this...
6) Assume that we are using quick sort algorithm to sort the following elements in the array 26, 15,30,11,8,17 22, 40, 4, 10. Use the first element in the array as pivot. (20 pts.) 1- How total iterations it would take to complete the sorting process? 2- Simulate the entire sorting process. (If you need additional space, complete it at the other side of the paper) public static void quick_sort(intl] a, int left, int right) if (left < right) (...
Sorting Sort the following array using the quick sort algorithm: (4 Marks) a. 12 26 8 9 7 0 4 Pivot selection is defined to be the first element of each sub-list. Show the array before and after each quicksort round (when the array is partitioned after placing the pivot at its correct position). Also, clearly highlight the pivot in each partition b. Consider an unsorted array of integers of size n. Write a Java program to arrange the array...
Discrete Mathematics Unsorted and Sorted Lists For linear search there was no requirement for the list to be organized in any manner. The linear search works for lists that are "unsorted." But what if the values in the list are given in ascending order? This would be a sorted list. With a sorted list, is there a more efficient way to find the target? Unsorted Lists (4 pts) Assume there is a sorting algorithm with order of growth O(n), where...
You are going to implement Treesort algorithm in C++ to sort string data. Here are the steps to complete the homework 1) Use the following class definition for binary search tree nodes. Its constructor is incomplete you should first complete the constructor. class TreeNode t public: string data; / this is the string stored in the node TreeNode left: TreeNode right; TreeNode (string element, TreeNode 1t, TreeNode rt //your code here 2) Write a function that will insert a string...

The binary search algorithm from Chapter 9 is a very efficient algorithm for searching an ordered list. The algorithm (in pseudocode) is as follows: highIndex - the maximum index of the part of the list being searched lowIndex - the minimum index of the part of the list being searched target -- the item being searched for //look in the middle middleIndex = (highIndex + lowIndex) / 2 if the list element at the middleIndex is the target return the...
Data Structures: For each of the following situations, name the best sorting algorithm we studied. (For one or two questions, there may be more than one answer deserving full credit, but you only need to give one answer for each.) (a) The array is mostly sorted already (a few elements are in the wrong place). (b) You need an O(n log n) sort even in the worst case and you cannot use any extra space except for a few local...
7. (14 points) Use LSD-first Radix Sort algorithm to sort the following array of numbers. Write the worst case, the best case time complexity and discuss if these sorting algorithms are stable and in-place? In what cases using these algorithms would not be efficient?
