Chapter 9.2, Problem 9.3CP

The average number of comparison in binary search for the array with 20,000 elements is “15”.

Program Plan Intro

Binary search:

  • Binary search is a smart search process that searches for the particular element that is present in the array from the middle towards the left or right until the search element is found.
  • The search element is searched from the middle as the elements present in the array needs to present in the sorted order.
    • If the search element is larger it will search towards the right of the array.
    • If the search element is smaller it will search towards the left of the array.
  • The search continues in a narrow way that it searches for the quarter of the array until there are no values left in the array to search or compare.
  • The search of the target element is made in the smart way it eliminates a portion of array based on the given element as the array is sorted.

We are considering the RSA encryption scheme. The involved numbers are small, so the communication is insecure.  Alice's public key (n,public_key) is (247,7). A code breaker manages to factories  247 = 13 x 19  Determine Alice's secret key. To solve the problem, you need not use the extended Euclid algorithm, but you may assume that her private key is one of the following numbers 31,35,55,59,77,89.
Consider the following Turing Machine (TM). Does the TM halt if it begins on the empty tape? If it halts, after how many steps? Does the TM halt if it begins on a tape that contains a single letter A followed by blanks? Justify your answer.
