Question
We apply the binary search on a 17-element ordered array. Assume that a given
key appears in the array, and it is between the 5th element and the 13th element
(inclusive). How many comparisons do we need for the average-case efficiency?

In each case, explain why the problem can be solved with multiplication by applying the definition of multiplication.arrow_forwardPLEASE DRAW IT. IT IS NOT CODINGarrow_forwardwe'll be working with the following set of nine numbers for binary searches set below:4, 10, 15, 18, 23, 26, 30, 34, 40Our objective is to pinpoint the number 26 within this array.The initial segment will comprehensively explain how to conduct a linear search to locate the number 26 within this array.arrow_forward
- Let A be an array, where each of the n elements is a randomly chosen digit between 0 and 9. For example, if n = 12, this array could be A = [3,5,1,0,5,7,9,2,2,8,8,6]. Determine whether Counting Sort or Merge Sort sorts this array faster.arrow_forwardLet M(n) be the minimum number of comparisons needed to sort an array A with exactly n ele- ments. For example, M(1) = 0, M(2) = 1, and M(4) = 4. If n is an even number, clearly explain why M(n) = 2M(n/2) + n/2.arrow_forward
