Consider the following list: L = 387, 690, 234, 435, 567, 123, 441. The number of components n = 7, the number of numbers l = 3, and the radix r = 10 are used here. This indicates that radix sort would require 10 bins and would arrange in three passes.
demonstrates the radix sort passes over the array. It is believed that each key is tossed face down into the bin. When the keys are gathered in order from each bin at the conclusion of each run, the list of keys in each bin is flipped upside down and added to the output list.
Merge sort algorithm is about to complete the sort and is at the point just before the last merge. At this point, elements in each half of the array are sorted amongst themselves.
Illustrate the above statement by looking at the array of the following ten integers: 5 3 8 9 1 7 0 2 6 4 and drawing the array before the final merge sort is completed (sorting from Smallest to largest)
2.Consider a polynomial that can be represented as a node which will be of fixed size having 3 fields which represent the coefficient and exponent of a term plus a pointer to the next term or to 0 if it’s the last term in the polynomial.
Then A = 11x4 -2x is represented by fig below

This searching algorithm estimates the position (index) of a key in array based on the elements in the first position and last position in the array, and the length of array.
