Explanation of Solution

Linear search:

  • Linear search or sequential search is the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array one by one till the last element in the search element is found.
  • The search uses a loop that iterates from the beginning till the last element to find the search element.
  • The search continues for all the elements present in the array until the last element.
  • The search of the target element is made after comparing it with each and every element that is present in the array.
  • The search process continues until the target value or search value is found.
  • If the search element is not found, the search gets returned unsuccessfully.

Number of comparisons in linear search:

To search the target element that is present in the array, the search element is compared with the number of elements present in the array. Even if the array contains 500 elements, the search process continues 500 times if the search element is present at the end of the array.

Maximum number of comparison = N

Average number of the comparison = N/2

Therefore, linear search is called sequential search because the search element is found by comparing each element present in the array using a loop one after the other, until the search element is found.

Suppose that the two Rank methods below are added to the Skip List class on Blackboard. public int Rank(T item) Returns the rank of the given item. public T Rank(int i) Returns the item with the given rank i. Requirements 1. Describe in a separate Design Document what additional data is needed and how that data is used to support an expected time complexity of O(log n) for each of the Rank methods. Show as well that the methods Insert and Remove can efficiently maintain this data as items are inserted and removed. (7 marks) 2. Re-implement the methods Insert and Remove of the Skip List class to maintain the augmented data in expected O(log n) time. Using the Contains method, ensure that added items are distinct. (6 marks) 3. Implement the two Rank methods. (8 marks) 4. Test your new methods thoroughly. Include your test cases and results in a Test Document. (4 marks)
