Questions and Answers

What is the recurrence for the given algorithm?

  • $T(n) = T(\frac{n}{2}) + \theta(n)$
  • $T(n) = 2T(\frac{n}{2}) + \theta(n)$ (correct)
  • $T(n) = 2T(n-1) + \theta(n)$
  • $T(n) = T(n-1) + \theta(n)$
  • What is the worst-case scenario for insertion sort?

  • When the input array is reversed
  • When the input array has random elements
  • When the input array is partially sorted
  • When the input array is sorted (correct)

    Study Notes

    Algorithms

    • The recurrence for the given algorithm is not specified, but it depends on the type of algorithm and its implementation.

    Insertion Sort

    • The worst-case scenario for insertion sort is O(n^2), which occurs when the input is in reverse order.

    Heaps

    • In a max-heap, the largest element is stored at the root node.

    Binary Search Trees (BSTs)

    • If 'y' is a node in the right subtree of 'x' in a BST, then the value of 'y' must be greater than the value of 'x'.

    Complexity Theory

    • The class of problems that are solvable is called recursive or R.
