(c) Suppose you are given a set of 100m sprint times from the 2020 olympics. The input list has sizen and is not sorted, and you may assume that each time is distinct (there are no exact ties). Your team-mate completed in the event, and her time was exactly 10.57 seconds. She returns from the olympics upset, claiming that at least half the competitors had a faster time. Design an algorithm that takes as input the array A consisting of the n sprint times, and outputs the closest n/4 sprint times that are faster than your friend's time. Justify why your algorithm runs in O(n) in the worst case. *For simplicity, you may assume n/4 is an integer

1. Analyze the word finder with wild card characters scenario to form the algorithm and compute the time complexity. You are given a list of characters with size n, m. You need to read character data provided as input into this list. There is also a list of p words that you need to find in the given problem. You can only search in left, right, up and down direction from a position. There are two wild characters *' and '+' ,if there is any instance of wild card characters for example '+' appears you can match whatever character in your word that you are searching at this position (only one character). Similarly, if you got wildcard *' you can skip any number of characters ( A sequence of characters not necessary same in between the characters) but the last character should be matched in the given data. This means you are not allowed to match a first and last character with *' wildeard. Input: The first line of the input will give you two integers n and m. From the next line you will get…
4. Write the pseudocode for an algorithm that takes as input a list of numbers that are sorted in nondecreasing order, and finds the location(s) of the most frequently occurring element(s) in the list. If there are more than one element that is the most frequently occurring, then return the locations of all of them. Analyze the worst-case time complexity of this algorithm and give the O() estimate. (A list is in nondecreasing order if each number in the list is greater than or equal to the number preceding it.)
Develop Pseudo-code (English-like) for: In the Find Largest pseudo-code algorithm of Figure 2.14, listed below, if the numbers in our list were not unique and therefore the largest number could occur more than once. Modify the algorithm below to find all the occurrences of the largest number and their position in the list.
Design and implement an algorithm using recursion and backtracking to sort an array of integers into ascending order. Consider the given array as input and produce a sorted array as output. Each time you take an integer from the input array, place it at the end of the output array. If the result is unsorted, backtrack.
) Implement a quicksort with a 2k-sample-size-based sample. The sample should be sorted first, after which you should set up the recursive procedure to split the sample based on its median and to shift the two halves of the remaining sample to each subarray so they can be utilised in the subarrays without needing to be sorted again. The name of this algorithm is samplesort.
Please help with question: Determine the running time of the following algorithms. Write summations to represent loops and simplify. Show all work. If bounding is used, the upper and lower bounds must only differ by a constant. Note: This is not the line-by-line analysis method. Loops are inclusive.
Show the content of a, and b, at the end of each iteration of Euclid's algorithm (version with while-loop), where a, b = 24, 33. Use one line per iteration.
You have an array of 10,000 subject scores for a high-school exam and you want to find the scores that are ranked from 4900 to 5100 that is the 201 most middle-ranked scores. Precisely describe two alternative algorithmic ap proaches to doing this - one of which is, in terms of time complexity, more efficient than the other.
Assume that for each number I n is not 2. How could the algorithm be modified to handle the situation where n is odd? I have two approaches: one that directly adjusts the recursive method and the other that mixes the iterative and recursive approaches. Just one of the two tasks must be completed (as long as it works and does not increase the BigOh of the running time.)
The intersection of two sets contains the list of elements that are common to both, without repetition. As such, you are required to write an algorithm that finds and returns the intersection of two sets A and B. The sets A and B and the resulting intersection set are all lists. Assume the size of A is n and that of B is m. (a) Write an iterative algorithm that finds the intersection. (b) Prove the correctness of your algorithm; i.e. state its loop invariant and prove it by induc- tion. (c) Analyze the time complexity of your algorithm. (d) Think of a way to enhance the complexity of your algorithm by sorting both lists A and B before calculating their intersection. Write the enhanced version and prove that it has a better time complexity.
