The way the Spaghetti Sort algorithm "cheated", if it did, was in claiming that the operation of myleft hand's palm detecting the tallest remaining piece of spaghetti in my right hand, and then pullingit out, could be accomplished in O(1) time, without explaining how this would actually be implementedalgorithmically.If you wanted to fill in the details for how this would work, one of the big decisions to make would be tochoose the data structure you use to implement the fist of spaghetti, and there are several potential options(though they won't of course provide the desired O(1) time). Note that in the course of the algorithmrunning, first you would insert all the numbers (spaghetti pieces) into the data structure, and then youwould repeated delete the largest remaining number (tallest remaining piece of spaghetti) from it.a) If you used an unsorted array as the data structure, what would the big-O cost of each delete-maxoperation be?b) What would the total big-O cost of the algorithm be?c)If you used a heap or balanced binary search tree as the data structure, what would the big-O cost ofeach delete-max operation be?d) What would the total big-O cost of the algorithm be?

For each question, an algorithm will be described that operates on N elements, and your answer should include: (a) a big-O expression that describes the total number of operations in the worst case (for ex- ample, O(N³)) (b) a description of how to achieve the same effect as the algorithm described, but achieved with a better big-O time bound (for example, "use mergesort instead of insertion sort") (c) the big-O time bound for your improved approach. Your improved algorithm does not need to be provably the best possible, but it should have a different and better big-O bound. (It may not be as simple as substituting one named algorithm for another; consider what is redundant about the work done by the existing algorithm.) You don't need to use pseudocode to describe your algorithms - the style used in the problem descriptions is also sufficient for your solutions. You can use pseudocode if you like. Do not write real code. If you wish to use an algorithm described in class, you can name…
You are given an array A of n>1 integers (not necessarily sorted) and your goal is to given an efficient divide and conquer algorithm for the following problem. Note that your divide and conquer algorithm should not use sorting as a subroutine (see questions below). (a) To find if there are two integers in A whose product is exactly t. If so, return True, otherwise return False.

Please justify your answer: Some sorting algorithms require extra space, apart from the space needed for the original array that needs to be sorted. Which one of the following statements on the space usage of sorting algorithms is correct? a.) A Heapsort for sorting an array of size N requires an amount of extra space proportional to N. b.) Insertion Sort for sorting an array of size N requires an amount of extra space proportional to N. c.) Merge sort for sorting an array of size N requires an amount of extra space proportional to N. d.) Quicksort for sorting an array of size N requires an amount of extra space proportional to N. e.) None of the above

You may refer to the Floating Front Design algorithm (discussed in Queue and in code) for this problem where both front and back are array indices from 0 to array.size()-1. Q is an initially empty circular array-based QUEUE of size 8. After each statement on left has been evaluated, please enter the resulting values of the front and back on right (HINT: please refrain from guessing based on intuition and, instead, reference code in your Queue lecture for insight): ArrayQueue Q = new ArrayQueue (8); Q.enqueue("P"); char x = Q. dequeue(); Q.enqueue("C"); Q.enqueue("c"); Q.enqueue("C"); Q.peek(); Q. dequeue(); front = front = front front = front = front front front = ; back = ; back = ; back = ; back ; back ; back = ; back = ; back =

The result is a number (one element matrix) computed as the sum of the products of the corresponding elements from the first vector with the ones from the second vector: m1[0][0]m2[0][0]+m1[0][1]*m2[1][0]+...+m1[0][n-1]m2[n-1][0
