- Q1: Suppose an array contains the following elements: -31 . . -27 . -9 14 17 18 Determine the number of comparisons needed to find each element in the array using a binary search. (explain in detail how to get the answer ) For example, three comparisons are needed to find -9. . -31 -27 14 17 48 7 29 30 48arrow_forward6 - Merge sorted arrays Program a method merge_sorted(a,b) that when given two sorted arrays a and b, returns a new sorted array c that has the elements from array a and array b. For example when given = [1,3,5,6,10] a b = [1,4,6,8] %3D the resulting array should be: C = = [1,1,3,4,5,6,6,8,10] This method should not call a sorting method. Instead, the resulting array should be produced by "zipping" the two input arrays together: we repeatedly select the least element that we did not consider before from a and b and include this in c. For example: a = [1,3,5,6,10] b = [1,4,6,8] C = [1,1,3, ...] the arrows (^) point to the lowest element we did not consider before. Of these, element 4 from b is less than element 5 from a. For this reason, we select 4 as the next element and advance the arrow ^ for b to point to 6.arrow_forwardCoding solutionarrow_forward

Minimum Difference Sum Given an array of n integers, rearrange them so that the sum of the absolute differences of all adjacent elements is minimized. Then, compute the sum of those absolute differences. Example n = 5 arr = [1, 3, 3, 2, 4] If the list is rearranged as arr' = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4], the absolute differences are /1-2/ = 1, 12-3|= 1, 13- 3|=0, 13-4/= 1. The sum of those differences is 1+1+0+1 = 3.

The capacity of knapsack is 50. The item no. 4 (whose weightis 25 ) is taken fractionally to fill upto the knapsack capacity. That fraction is represented informat. What is the lowest possible value of 6? For the question above, assume the total value stored in the knapsack is 135 after you have filled upto the knapsack capacity. What is the value of X(in other words, the value of the item no. 4) ? Give your answer to at least two decimal places.arrow_forward
