Heap Sort

Heap Sort - Places all elements into a heap, and then removes the root and places it in its final resting places in the array (last element of array if you are using a descending heap, or first element is you are using an ascending heap). Before taking the root again heapify is called to ensure heap property is maintained.

Describe: Merge sort Quicksort Radix sort Shell sort

MergeSort - recursively divide the array in half until only one item is left, then merge subarrays together. QuickSort - partition array around pivot into two subarrays, everything left of pivot should be less then the pivot, everything right of pivot is greater than pivot. Then recursively quicksort each subarray. RadixSort - divide all data items into groups based on the 1s digits, then based on the 10s digits, then based on the 100s digit, until there are no more digits. Be sure to maintain order throughout each pass. ShellSort - insertion sort widely spaced elements decreasing the spacing between elements until the spacing is 1.

Merge Sort

MergeSort- Recursively breaks the array in half until the base case is reached (# of elements is 1). It then uses the merge method to combine two arrays by comparing the first element of each and placing it into the final array in order.

21. Insertion and deletion in a tree require what big O time?

O(log N)........think binary

Quick Sort

Quick Sort - Uses a pivot to partition the array into values less then pivot and values greater then pivot. The pivot is then place in between these two groups in its final resting place and quick sort is called recursively on each side/group.

Radix Sort

Radix Sort - Puts the elements into "bins" based on the ones digit. Preserving order from the previous pass it then places each element into a bin based on the tens digit, repeating for each digit while maintaining order from the previous step until all digits have used.

32. Newly inserted nodes are always colored ________ .

Red

10. What part of the problem becomes smaller with repeated recursive calls in the towers of hanoi program?

The number of disks to transfer decreases by 1 each time the method calls itself.

18. True or false: In quicksort, the pivot can be an arbitrary element of the array.

True

22. True or False: Not all trees are binary trees.

True

b. inserting data into a heap and then removing it.

b. Write a findSuccessor method that takes as parameter a node in a binary search tree and returns its successor node. Use Java or pseudocode. Remember that there are two subcases: either the input node has a non-empty right subtree, or the right subtree is empty. If the right subtree is empty, then you must start "backtracking" along parent nodes. Node successor(Node n){ Node succ; //case 1 - right subtree isnull if (n.right!=null) { right subtree is not null //go to right subtree and find mind node (all the way down left) succ=node.right while(succ.left!=null){ succ=succ.left; //continue down left subtree until a leaf is reached } } else { //case 2 - right subtree is null, backtrack up tre until you find a node whose // left is the parent of the node whose successor you want succ=n.parent; while(succ!=null && succ.right==n) { //while a successor exists and //the current node is a right child //continue back tracking n.succ; succ=succ.parent } } }
