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…
Mina always wants things to be sorted. She loves perfection in work and doesn't worry about time. Her brother gifted her some boxes with different sizes. Now she needs your help to sort it. You're given n boxes with different sizes and your task is to sort the boxes in ascending order of size. You should recursively partition the array with a number p so that all the elements greater than p are to its right and all the elements lower than p to its left to sort the boxes. Make sure you are giving a solution that doesn't exceed the time complexity of O(n^2), but on average has complexity of O(nlogn) a. Which algorithm will you suggest to Mina? Explain if your algorithm is stable or unstable with appropriate example b. Show the step by step simulation of your algorithm on the boxes of size 5, 9, 10, 3, 15, 12, 6, 20, 9, 13, 3, 10, 1, 2. c. Give an example of box sizes when it will be worst case and when it will be the best case for this algorithm.
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.
4. Consider the function IndexEqual(A,i.j) that returns true if there exists an index x (i sx sj) such that A[x] = x; otherwise, retums false. You may assume A is a sorted integer array in which every element is unique. a. Write an efficient recursive algorithm for IndexEqual(A,i.j). b. What is the situation resulting in the best-case running time of your function, and give an expression for that running time? c. What is the situation resulting in the worst-case running time of your function, and give an expression for that running time in terms of n, where n=j-i+1?
Provide answer in C language please You are tasked with creating a program that takes in an array of integers and sorts them in ascending order using a custom sorting algorithm. The custom sorting algorithm should be based on the following rules: The sorting algorithm must use a divide-and-conquer approach. The sorting algorithm must be recursive. The sorting algorithm must have an average case time complexity of O(n log n). The sorting algorithm must have a worst case time complexity of O(n^2). The sorting algorithm must be stable, meaning that the relative order of equal elements should be preserved.

Write a program to sort an array of random elements using quicksort as follows: Sort the arrays using pivot as the first element of the array Sort the arrays using pivot as the median of the first, last, and middle elements of the array Sort the arrays using pivot as the first element of the array. However,, when the size of any sub-list reduces to less than 20, sort the sub-list using insertion sort. Sort the array using pivot as the median of the first, last and middle elements of the array. When the size of any sub-list reduces to less than 20, sort the sub-list using insertion sort. Calculate and display the CPU time for each of the preceding four steps. Example of the median of the first, last and middle elements: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 (median of 1, 5, 0 is 1) 8 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (median of 8, 3, 7 is 7) To calculate the CPU time, use the header , and clock_t type. You need to cast the duration to float and divide it by CLOCKS_PER_SEC. Depends on the CPU of your computer, your…
You are now running the insertion sort algorithm on your computer. Assume that at the start of iteration j=4 of the for loop, the array A is A=3,6,8,4,9,2,7,10, and that the for loop is iteration j=4. The array A should be written at the beginning of iteration j=5 of the for loop.

A maze is a two dimensional array of chars. Walls are represented as '#'s and ' ' are empty squares. The maze entrance is always in the first row, second column (and will always be an empty square). There will be zero or more exits along the outside perimeter. To be considered an exit, it must be reachable from the entrance.

Java: Consider the following algorithm for searching in an unsorted array. If the size of the array is 1, then check if it contains the element to be searched. Otherwise, divide the array into two halves, and recursively search both halves. Which of (a)–(c) is false? The running time of this algorithm is O(N) The actual running time of this algorithm is likely to be better than sequential search. This is an example of a divide‐and‐conquer algorithm all of the above are true none of the above is true
