Get started for freeA palindrome is a string that reads the same forward and backward. Describe an algorithm for determining whether a string of n characters is a palindrome.
a.) Explain the concept of a greedy algorithm.
b.) Prove the example of a greedy algorithm that produces an optimal solution and explain why it produces an optimal solution.
c.) Provide an example of a greedy algorithm that does not always produce an optimal solution and explain why it fails to do so.
Specify the steps of an algorithm that locates an element in a list of increasing integers by successively splitting the list into four sublists of equal (or as close to equal as possible) size, and restricting the search to the appropriate piece. In a list of elements, the same element may appear several times. A mode of such a list is an element that occurs at least as often as each of the other elements; a list has more than one mode when more than one element appears the maximum number of times.
Use the greedy algorithm to make change using quarters, dimes, and pennies (but no nickels) for each of the amounts given in Exercise 52. For which of these amounts does the greedy algorithm use the fewest coins of these denominations possible?
List all the steps used to search for 7 in the sequence given in Exercise 13 for both a linear search and a binary search.
