AIM: To measure and analyze the time complexity of merging two sorted arrays. DESCRIPTION: The program generates two sorted arrays of increasing sizes. It merges these arrays into a single sorted array. The data collected is used to analyze the time complexity of the merging process. GRAPH: TI...
During merging of two sub-arrays, the worst case scenario that generates the most comparisons, is if the sub-arrays are equally big. Just consider merging [1,4,6,9] and [2,3,7,8]. In this case the following comparisons are needed:Comparing 1 and 2, result: [1] Comparing 4 and 2...
Write a program to implement the selection algorithm, which proves that merging two sorted arrays of N items requires at least (2*N)-1 comparisons. The classic recursion examples are the factorial program and Fibonacci ...
Write a program to implement the selection algorithm, which proves that merging two sorted arrays of N items requires at least (2*N)-1 comparisons. This question is about solving the recurrence relations. Please show your intermediate computation...
