If I had an array of integers with 1000 elements, what would be the fastest way to find a specific element's index? Would it be best to first QuickSort it and then use BinarySearch or just to use p...

It seems quite straightforward to implement quicksort using bi-directional iterators with O(NlgN) time and O(lgN) space. So, what is the particular reason that std::sort() requires random-access it...

The worst-case running time of insertion on a red-black tree is O(lg n) and if I perform a in-order walk on the tree, I essentially visit each node, so the total worst-case runtime to print the sor...

I have a two dimensional array and want to sort both rows depending on the order of the elements in the first row: i start with: row1: { 4, 3, 1, 5, 0} row2: { 7, 8, 9, 1, 2} and the result sho...

I'm implementing QuickSort in C. Here's my swap procedure: void swap(int *x, int *y) { *x += (*y); *y = (*x) - (*y); *x = (*x) - (*y); } And here's my Partition procedure: int partition(int...

The space complexity of Quicksort is listed as O(logn). however - Quicksort can process without use of any additional memory: at each iteration, during the partition process, the entries are sw...
