List all the steps used by algorithm 1 to find the maximum of the list
1, 8, 12, 9, 11, 2, 14, 5, 10, 4
a) Describe an algorithm for finding the first and second largest elements in a list of integers.
b) Estimate the number of comparisons used.
Suppose that f(x) is O (g(x)) where f and g are increasing and unbounded functions. Show that log│f(x)│ is O (log│g(x)│).
a.) Define what the worst-case time complexity, average-case time complexity, and best-case time complexity (in terms of conditions) mean for an algorithm that find the smallest integer in a list of nintegers.
b.) What are the worst-case , average-case, and best-case time complexities, in terms of comparisons) mean for algorithm that finds the smallest integer in a list of nintegers by comparing each of the integers with the smallest integer found so far?
