Program Plan Intro

Sorting Benchmarks

Program plan:

  • Create the class “SortingBenchmarks”,
    • Declare the required variables.
    • Define the method “bubbleSort()”,
      • Use “for” loop to sort the elements in the ascending order.
      • Increment the count of bubble sort by 2 on each comparison and swaps on the elements.
      • Return the count of bubble sort.
    • Define the method “selectionSort()”,
      • Use “for” loop to find the smallest value in the array and continue the process until the array becomes sorted.
      • Increment the count of selection sort by 2 on each comparison and swaps on the elements.
      • Return the count of selection sort.
    • Define the method “insertionSort()”,
      • Use “for” loop to insert the elements at the correct position and swap the elements based on comparisons.
      • Increment the insertion sort by 1.
      • Return the count of insertion sort.
    • Define the method “quicksort()”,
      • Call the method “doquicksort()” to sort the elements using the pivot value.
      • Increment the quick sort by 1.
    • Define the method “doquick_sort()”,
      • Call the method “partition()” to partition the array values into two halves.
      • Call the method “doquick_sort()” recursively to sort the left half of the values in the array.
      • Call the method “doquick_sort()” recursively to sort the right half of the values in the array.
    • Define the method “partition()”,
      • Calculate the pivot value.
      • Call the “swap()” method to swap the array values.
      • Use “for” loop to scan the entire array and based on pivot value, call the “swap()” method to swap and arrange the values in order.
    • Define the method “swap()”,
      • Swap the values and increment the quick sort count by 2.
  • Create the class “SortingBenchmarkTest”,
    • Define the “main()” function,
      • Use “for” loop to insert random of at least 20 integers for each sorting.
      • Create the object for the “SortingBenhcmarkTest” class,
      • Call the method “bubbleSort()” to sort the values in order.
      • Call the method “selectionSort()” to sort the values in order.
      • Call the method “insertionSort()” to sort the values in order.
      • Call the method “quickSort()” to sort the values in order.
      • Print the sorted elements of each sorting and then print the number of comparisons made by each sorting.

8. Repetition Use Python Language Write a method that takes in an array as a parameter and counts the repetition of each element. That is, if an element has appeared in the array more than once, then its 'repetition' is its number of occurrences. The method returns true if there are at least two elements with the same number of 'repetition'. Otherwise, return false. Input: {4,5,6,6,4,3,6,4} Output: True Explanation: Two numbers repeat in this array: 4 and 6. 4 has a repetition of 3, 6 has a repetition of 3. Since two numbers have the same repetition output is True. Input: {3,4,6,3,4,7,4,6,8,6,6} Output: False Explanation: Three numbers repeat in this array:3,4 and 6 .3 has a repetition of 2, 4 has a repetition of 3, 6 has a repetition of 4. Since no two numbers have the same repetition output is False.
True or False. A simple variable, also called a scalar variable, is one that is unrelated to any other variable in the computer’s internal memory.   The bubble sort algorithm gets its name from the fact that as the larger values drop to the bottom of the array, the smaller values rise, like bubbles, to the top.   Programmers use arrays to temporarily store related data in the internal memory of the computer.   Different variables in the same array may have different data types.   The elements in an array can be used just like any other variables.   When an array is sorted in ascending order, the first element contains the largest value and the last element contains the smallest value.   When passing an array by reference in C++, you do not include the address-of operator before the formal parameter’s name in the function header.   You distinguish one variable in a one-dimensional array from another variable in the same array using a unique integer,…
C Program/ C Language Make a C program for the array. Enter a bunch of integers then it should print the largest sum of a strictly ascending sequence of the array. A strictly ascending sequence is a sequence where the current number is always lesser than the next number.
