Explanation of Solution

Binary search algorithm:

The binary search algorithm is used to find an item in an array and the search array should be in the sorted order.

  • The searching is started in the middle of the array.
  • In the searching process, the algorithm finds an item or eliminates half of the array in each comparison.
  • If the search item is less than the middle item, then it eliminates the second half of the array, and it continues to search in the first half of the array.
  • If the search item is greater than the middle item, then it eliminates the first half of the array, and it continues to search in the second half of the array.
  • Once again, it examines the middle and repeats the above steps to find an item.
  • If the middle item is equal to search item, then the searching is stopped...

1.[30 pts] Computers generate color pictures on a video screen or liquid crystal display by mixing three different colors of light: red, green, and blue. Imagine a simple scheme, with three different lights, each of which can be turned on or off, projecting onto a glass screen: We can create eight different colors based on the absence (0) or presence (1) of light sources R,G and B: R G B Color 0 0 0 Black 0 0 1 Blue 0 1 0 Green 0 1 1 Cyan 1 0 0 Red 1 0 1 Magenta 1 1 1 0 Yellow 1 White 1 Each of these colors can be represented as a bit vector of length 3, and we can apply Boolean operations to them. a. The complement of a color is formed by turning off the lights that are on and turning on the lights that are off. What would be the complement of each of the eight colors listed above? b. Describe the effect of applying Boolean operations on the following colors: Λ 1. Red(100) ^ Magenta(101)= Blue(001) 2. Bue(001) | Green(010)= 3. Yellow(100) & Cyan(011)= 2.[30 pts] Perform the following…
