Summary

The material includes brief theoretical and practical analysis of the time complexities of 3 different algorithms. You are likely to get this sort of assignments, home works in your higher studies, this assignment will help you to solve them....

Description

Experiment: Write a program to compare the complexity analysis of Merge, Heap and Quick Sort 1) Theoretical Analysis: Quick Sort: Best Case

The data elements are partitioned uniformly, such a pivot is selected which divides data elements into two equal parts. So, the time complexity T(n) would be:  T(n)= 2T(n/2)+Cn, solving it we get,  T(n)= O(nlgn)

Suppose 60% of the data elements are on the right side of the pivot and rest 40% on the left. So T(n) would be:  T(n)= 6T(n/10)+4T(n/10)+Cn, solving it we get,  T(n)= O(nlgn) Worst Case The data is not partitioned uniformly, pivot selected is an extreme large or small value. This means if there are n elements, the pivot partitions the data into (n-1) elements.  T(n) = T(n-1)+Cn =T(n-2)+C(n-1)+Cn….=T(1)+C*2+C*3+…+Cn, solving it we get,  T(n)=O(n2) Average

Merge Sort: Base Case

Worst Case

The array is sorted in this case, merge sort divides array in two halves taking linear time to merge two halves so T(n)= O(nlgn), which is the same for its average and worst case as well. In every iteration, we divide the elements into further 2 sub elements. Leading lg n operations and for n iteration resulting in n log n operations. So T(n)= O(nlogn)

Heap Sort: Base Case

Best case occurs when all elements are equal,  T(n)= Ω(n log n)

Worst and Average Case
