(20 points) Suppose we have a linear time algorithm, named as SELECT, to find the median of any input array. Show how QUICKSORT can be made to run in $O(n \log n)$ time in the worst case.

Step 1
First, let's define what the "Q" worst case means. In computer science, the "Q" worst case refers to the scenario where the algorithm's performance is the worst possible for a given input size. Show more…

Create a console app and write a generic method, Search [ int Search( T[] dataArray, T searchKey) ] that searches an array using the linear search algorithm. The method Search should compare the search key with each element in the array until the search key is found or until the end of the array is reached. If the search key is found, return/display its location in the array (i.e. its index value); otherwise, return -1. Take the size of the array as 10. Test this method by passing two types of arrays to it (an integer array and a string array). Display the generated values so that the user knows what values he/she can search for.
Determine the worst-case complexity in terms of comparisons of the algorithm from Exercise 5 in Section 3.1 for determining all values that occur more than once in a sorted list of integers.
