Question

32 teams qualified for the 2014 World Cup. If the names of the teams were arranged in sorted order (an array), how many items in the array would binary search have to examine to find the location of a particular team in the array, in the worst case?

Recall that the worst number of inversions occur in an array sorted in descending order, in which each of the n elements is inverted with the other n – 1 elements. Why then, is the maximum number of inversions n( n – 1 ) / 2 instead of n( n – 1 )?

Suppose sa is a sorted array of integer values, and we wish to search for a number target in this array. If sa contains n elements, and we use the binary search strategy, what is the approximate maximum number of comparisons necessary to determine that the value target is or is not in the array? How would your answer change if the array were not sorted?

Which of the following is NOT a precondition for an array that is to be sorted by a recursive binary search algorithm? (first is the index of the first item in the array, last is the index of the last item in the array, and SIZE is the maximum size of the array)

Write a program that reads a file of numbers of type int and writes all the numbers to another file, but without any duplicate numbers. Assume that the numbers in the input file are already ordered from smallest to largest. After the program is run, the new file will contain all the numbers in the original file, but no number will appear more than once in the file. The numbers in the output file should also be sorted from smallest to largest. Your program should obtain both file names from the user. Use either a text file or a binary file. For the text-file version, assume one number per line. For the binary-file version, use numbers of type int that are written using writeInt.
