Question
A group of students writes their names and unique student ID numbers on sheets of paper. The sheets are then randomly placed in a stack. Their teacher is looking to see if a specific ID number is included in the stack. Which of the following best describes whether their teacher should use a linear or a binary search? a. The teacher could use either type of search though the binary search is likely to be faster b. The teacher could use either type of search though the linear search is likely to be faster c. Neither type of search will work since the data is numeric d. Only the linear search will work since the data has not been sorted

- Implement the following two sorting algorithms in a program called p3.py. Write two separate functions for these algorithms. Both functions must take a list of integers as the input parameter.1) Bogosort: first shuffle the list argument (i.e., randomize the positions of every element) and then check to see if the result is in sorted order. If it is, the algorithm terminates successfully and returns True, but if it is not then the process must be repeated.2) Bozosort: choose two elements in the list at random, swap them, and then check if the result is in sorted order. If it is, the algorithm terminates successfully and returns True, but if it is not then the process must be repeated.Write a main() function and call both sorting functions using the same list as their arguments. The list can be of any size (try a small list first). Does any of your algorithms terminate? If yes, count the number of iterations it uses to sort the list. Does it always use the same number of repetitions? If…arrow_forwardSuppose a list contains marks earned in the courses CSE110, PHY111, and MAT110 of each student consecutively in a nested list form. Your task is to take a course name as input and sort the list based on the marks obtained in that course to finally print the names of the students in descending order of marks obtained i.e. from the student who earned the highest marks to the student who earned the lowest. For example, the list may look like stu_lst = [ ["Alan", 95, 87, 91], ["Turing", 92, 90, 83], ["Elon", 87, 92, 80], ["Musk", 85, 94, 90] ] where for each nested list, 1st index holds the name of the student, 2nd index is total marks earned in the CSE110 course, 3rd index is PHY111 marks and 4th index is MAT110 marks. [You cannot use python build-in sort() function, you can call your own sort function or copy your code from previous tasks instead] =============================================================== Sample Input 1 MAT110 Sample Output 1 ['Alan', 'Musk', 'Turing', 'Elon']…arrow_forwardA basic iterator offers all the following operations except Group of answer choices 1. Except nothing, it can do all of the listed operations. 2. Get the item at the current iteration 3. Return an array of all items 4. Determine if there are more items 5.

Which of the following is not true? O If the item is not found, the loop version returns when the range bounds reach, but the recursive version finishes when the recursive depth is more than half the initial search range. The search range starts with the whole array, and only the recursive version can work on a subrange passed through arguments. O Both forms of the program divide the search range repeatedly in half. O If the item is found, the loop version returns from the entire method, whereas the recursive version returns from one level of recursion.arrow_forward
