Consider sorting n numbers stored in array A by first finding the smallest elementof A and exchanging it with the element in A[1]. Then find the second smallestelement of A, and exchange it with A[2]. Continue in this manner for the first n-1elements of A. Write pseudocode for this algorithm, which is known as selectionsort. What loop invariant does this algorithm maintain? Why does it need to run foronly the first n - 1 elements, rather than for all n elements? Give the best-case andworst-case running times of selection sort in Θ -notation.
A binary search only works if the values in the list are sorted. A bubble sort is a simple way to sort entries. The basic idea is to compare two adjacent entries in a list-call them entry[j] and entry[j+1]. If entry[j] is larger, then swap the entries. If this is repeated until the last two entries are compared, the largest element in the list will now be last. The smallest entry will ultimately get swapped, or "bubbled" up to the top. The algorithm could be described in C as: last = num; while (last > 0) { pairs = last – 1: for (j = 0; j entry (j+1] { temp = entry[il: entryli] = entrylj+1]; entrylj+1] = temp; last = i: } } Here, num is the number of entries in the list. Write an assembly language program to implement a bubble sort algorithm, and test it using a list of 8 elements. Each element should be a halfword in length. Please show your code works with the Keil tools or VisUAL, by grabbing a screen shot with your name somewhere on the screen.
Implement the following two sorting algorithms in a program called p3.py. Write two separate functions for these algorithms. Both functions must take a list of integers as the input parameter.1) Bogosort: first shuffle the list argument (i.e., randomize the positions of every element) and then check to see if the result is in sorted order. If it is, the algorithm terminates successfully and returns True, but if it is not then the process must be repeated.2) Bozosort: choose two elements in the list at random, swap them, and then check if the result is in sorted order. If it is, the algorithm terminates successfully and returns True, but if it is not then the process must be repeated.Write a main() function and call both sorting functions using the same list as their arguments. The list can be of any size (try a small list first). Does any of your algorithms terminate? If yes, count the number of iterations it uses to sort the list. Does it always use the same number of repetitions? If…
