Asymptotic ?

Asymptotic notations, commonly used in computer science and mathematics, describe the

growth rate of functions as their input approaches infinity. The main asymptotic notations are:

1. Big O (O): Represents an upper bound on the growth rate of a function. It characterizes the

worst-case scenario.

2. Omega (Ω): Represents a lower bound on the growth rate of a function. It characterizes the

best-case scenario.

3. Theta (Θ): Represents both upper and lower bounds, providing a tight bound on the growth

rate.

Properties of Asymptotic Notations:

•Reflexivity: For any function f(n), f(n) is always O(f(n)), Ω(f(n)), and Θ(f(n)).

•Transitivity: If f(n) is O(g(n)) and g(n) is O(h(n)), then f(n) is O(h(n)).

•Symmetry: If f(n) is Θ(g(n)), then g(n) is also Θ(f(n)).

•Addition/Multiplication by Constants: If f(n) is O(g(n)), then af(n) is also O(g(n)) for any constant

'a' (where 'a' > 0).

•Polynomial Dominance: For any two functions f(n) and g(n), if f(n) is a polynomial of a higher

degree than g(n), then f(n) grows faster.

These properties help analyze and compare the efficiency of algorithms, providing insights into

their behavior as the input size increases

// Write a recursive algorithm to find the sum of first in integers and derive its time complexity ?

def recursive_sum(n):

# Base case: sum of the first 0 integers is 0

if n == 0:

return 0
# Recursive case: sum of the first 'n' integers is n + sum of first 'n-1' integers

else:

return n + recursive_sum(n - 1)

# Example usage:

n=5

result = recursive_sum(n)

print(f"Sum of the first {n} integers is {result}")

Now, let's analyze the time complexity:

At each recursive call, the function performs constant time operations (addition, subtraction,

comparison).

The recursion depth is 'n' because the function calls itself 'n' times, decrementing 'n' by 1 in

each call.

The time complexity T(n) can be expressed as:

T(n)=T(n−1)+O(1)

Solving this recurrence relation, we find that the time complexity is

O(n). The recursive sum algorithm has a linear time complexity with respect to the input size 'n'.

// Explain in-order, pre-order and post-order traversal of a binary tree. ?

Traversal refers to the process of visiting all the nodes of a binary tree and performing an

operation (like printing or processing the node's value). In binary trees, there are three common

types of traversals: in-order, pre-order, and post-order.

In-Order Traversal:

Visit the left subtree.

Visit the current node.

Visit the right subtree.

For example, for the tree:

/\
23

/\

45

The in-order traversal would be: 4, 2, 5, 1, 3.

Pre-Order Traversal:

Visit the current node.

Visit the left subtree.

Visit the right subtree.

Using the same example, the pre-order traversal would be: 1, 2, 4, 5, 3.

Post-Order Traversal:

Visit the left subtree.

Visit the right subtree.

Visit the current node.

Again, with the example, the post-order traversal would be: 4, 5, 2, 3, 1.

These traversals have different applications. In-order is often used for expressions, as it visits

nodes in the order of operations. Pre-order is useful for creating a copy of the tree, and

post-order is often employed in deleting nodes from the tree.

Each traversal has its own time and space complexities. In binary trees with 'n' nodes, each

traversal takes

O(n) time and

O(h) space, where 'h' is the height of the tree.

# Explain in detail about AVL tree rotations ?

AVL trees are self-balancing binary search trees where the balance factor (the height difference

between the left and right subtrees) of every node is limited to be -1, 0, or 1. When an insertion

or deletion operation disturbs this balance, rotations are performed to restore it. AVL tree

rotations include four types: left rotation, right rotation, left-right rotation (LR), and right-left

rotation (RL).

1. Left Rotation (LL Rotation):

Scenario: Imbalance occurs when the right subtree of the right child of a node is taller than the

left subtree.

Action:

AB

\/\

B ===> A C

Steps:

Set B as the new root.

Make A the left child of B.

Make the right child of B the left child of A.

2. Right Rotation (RR Rotation):

Scenario: Imbalance occurs when the left subtree of the left child of a node is taller than the

right subtree.

Action:

BA

//\

A ===> C B

Steps:

Set A as the new root.

Make B the right child of A.

Make the left child of A the right child of B.

3. Left-Right Rotation (LR Rotation):

Scenario: Imbalance occurs when the left subtree of the left child is taller than the right subtree,

and the right subtree of the left child is taller than the left subtree.

Action:

AAC

\\/\
B ===> C ===> A B

/\

CB

Steps:

Apply a left rotation on the left child.

Apply a right rotation on the original node.

Right-Left Rotation (RL Rotation):

Scenario: Imbalance occurs when the right subtree of the right child is taller than the left

subtree, and the left subtree of the right child is taller than the right subtree.

Action:

CCA

///\

B ===> A ===> B C

\/

AB

Steps:

Apply a right rotation on the right child.

Apply a left rotation on the original node.

AVL tree rotations maintain the binary search tree property while keeping the balance factor

within the required range. These rotations ensure that the tree remains balanced and

guarantees efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations with a logarithmic time

//Explain the Pseudocode convention for algorithms. Give the Pseudocode of iterative binary

search.?

Pseudocode is a high-level description of an algorithm that uses a combination of natural

language and programming-like syntax. Here are some common conventions used in

pseudocode:

1. Control Structures:

•Sequence: Represented by a series of steps, usually listed sequentially.

•Selection (if-else): Uses "if," "else if," and "else" to denote conditional statements.

•Iteration (while, for): Represented by "while" or "for" loops.

2. **Variables:**

- Variables are typically represented in uppercase or mixed case.

- Assignment is often denoted by "←" or "=".

3. **Functions/Procedures:**

- Functions or procedures are named and may include parameters.

- Return values can be indicated using "return."

Now, let's provide the pseudocode for an iterative binary search algorithm:

BinarySearchIterative(array, target):

low ← 0

high ← length(array) - 1

while low <= high:

mid ← (low + high) / 2

if array[mid] = target:

return mid // Target found, return index

else if array[mid] < target:

low ← mid + 1

else:

high ← mid - 1

return -1 // Target not found

```

In this pseudocode:

- `array` is the sorted array to be searched.

- `target` is the value being searched for.

- `low` and `high` represent the indices defining the search range.

- The algorithm iteratively narrows down the search range until the target is found or the range

becomes empty.

Note that pseudocode can be adapted based on personal or organizational preferences, and

the key is to convey the algorithm's logic clearly and understandably.

//Show that Theta (O) notation satisfies transitivity property?

To show that Theta (Ө) notation satisfies the transitivity property, we need to demonstrate that f(n) =
Theta(g(n)) * an * dg(n) = Theta(h(n)) , then it implies f(n) = Theta(h(n))

The definition of Theta(g(n)) implies the existence of positive constants C1, c_{2} and n_{0} such that:

c_{1}*g(n) <= f(n) <= c_{2}*g(n) for all n >= n_{0}

Similarly, Theta(h(n)) implies positive constants c_{3}, c_{4} and n_{1} such that:

c_{3}*h(n) <= g(n) <= c_{4}*h(n) for all n >= n_{1}

Now, let's combine these inequalities:

c_{1}*g(n) <= f(n) <= c_{2}*g(n) for all n >= n_{0}

c_{3}*h(n) <= g(n) <= c_{4}*h(n) for all n >= n_{1}

Multiplying these inequalities gives:

C1 C3 h(n) f(n) C2 C4h(n) for all n≥ max(no, n₁)

Let C5 C1 C3 and C6 C2 C4. Then:

c_{5}*h(n) <= f(n) <= c_{6}*h(n) for all n ≥ max(no, n1)

This shows that f(n) = Theta(h(n)) satisfying the transitivity property for notation

//What is space complexity? Illustrate with an example for fixed complexity ?

Space complexity is a measure of the amount of memory space an algorithm requires with

respect to the input size. It helps analyze how the memory usage of an algorithm grows as the

input size increases. Space complexity is often expressed using Big O notation.

There are two main types of space complexity:

1. **Fixed (or Constant) Space Complexity:**

- The amount of memory used by the algorithm remains constant, regardless of the input size.

- Denoted by (O(1)).

Here's an example of an algorithm with fixed space complexity: a simple function that swaps the
values of two variables without using any additional data structures.

def swap_variables(a, b):

# Temporary variable for swapping

temp = a

a=b

b = temp

# Example usage:

x=5

y = 10

swap_variables(x, y)

In this example, regardless of the values of `x` and `y`, the space used by the algorithm is

constant. It only requires memory for the `temp` variable, which doesn't depend on the input

size.

The space complexity is (O(1)) because it doesn't grow with the size of the input. This is a

characteristic of algorithms with fixed space complexity.

It's important to note that space complexity analysis doesn't always consider the space used by

the input itself, as that is typically treated as part of the input and not additional space used by

the algorithm.

//Write the algorithm to:

(a) Search an element in binary search tree.

(b) Delete an element from binary search tree.

(c) Insert an element into binary search tree.

( d) Delete and element from an AVL tree.

(E) insertion into b tree

Certainly! Here are the algorithms for the requested operations:

### (a) Search in Binary Search Tree (BST):

Algorithm SearchBST(root, key):

if root is null or [Link] is equal to key:

return root

if key is less than [Link]:

```

### (b) Delete from Binary Search Tree (BST):

if root is null:

return root

if key is less than [Link]:

[Link] = DeleteBST([Link], key)

else if key is greater than [Link]:

[Link] = DeleteBST([Link], key)

else:

if [Link] is null:

return [Link]

else if [Link] is null:

return [Link]

[Link] = MinValue([Link])

[Link] = DeleteBST([Link], [Link])

return root

```

### (c) Insert into Binary Search Tree (BST):

Algorithm InsertBST(root, key):

if root is null:

return Node(key)

if key is less than [Link]:

[Link] = InsertBST([Link], key)

else if key is greater than [Link]:

[Link] = InsertBST([Link], key)

return root

```

### (d) Delete from AVL Tree:

Algorithm DeleteAVL(root, key):

Perform standard BST delete for key in the AVL tree.

Update height of the current node.

Get the balance factor of this node (leftHeight - rightHeight).

If the node becomes unbalanced, there are four cases:

Left Left Case: Right rotation

Left Right Case: Left rotation on left child and then right rotation on current node

Right Right Case: Left rotation

Right Left Case: Right rotation on right child and then left rotation on current node

Return the balanced node.

```

### (e) Insert into B-Tree:

Algorithm InsertBTree(root, key):

If the root is null:

Create a new root with the key.

Else:

If the root is a leaf node:

Insert the key into the node.

Else:

Find the child of the root that should contain the key.

Recursively call InsertBTree on that child.

If the child has overflowed, split it.

Propagate the split upward if necessary.

//Explain the algorithm for deletion operation on a red-black tree ?

And insertion operation on a red black tree? And explain about red Black tree and it's

properties? And explain the insertion cases?

**Red-Black Tree:**

A red-black tree is a type of self-balancing binary search tree where each node has an extra bit

for denoting the color, either red or black. The properties of a red-black tree are designed to

ensure that it remains approximately balanced during insertions and deletions, providing

efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations with a logarithmic time complexity.

**Properties of a Red-Black Tree:**

1. **Node Color:** Each node is either red or black.

2. **Root and Leaves:** The root and leaves (null or sentinel nodes) are black.

3. **Red-Black Property:** No two consecutive red nodes exist on any path from the root to a

null pointer.

4. **Black Height:** Every path from the root to a null pointer must have the same number of

black nodes; this is called the "black height."

**Insertion Operation:**

The insertion operation in a red-black tree involves three main cases:

1. **Case 1: Recoloring**

- If the parent of the newly inserted node is black, no violation occurs.

- If the parent is red, and the uncle is also red, recolor the parent, uncle, and grandparent.

2. **Case 2: Rotation**

- If the parent is red, but the uncle is black, and the new node is the right child of a left child (or

vice versa), perform a rotation to make it linear.

- Then, apply Case 3.

3. **Case 3: Double Rotation**

- If the parent is red, but the uncle is black, and the new node is the right child of a right child

(or left child of a left child), perform a rotation to make it linear.

- Recolor the parent and grandparent.

**Algorithm for Insertion:**

Algorithm InsertRBTree(root, key):

Insert the key as in a standard binary search tree.

Color the new node as RED.

Fix any violations of red-black tree properties starting from the new node:

- Case 1: Recoloring

- Case 2: Rotation

- Case 3: Double Rotation

Color the root as BLACK to satisfy the root property.

```

**Deletion Operation:**

The deletion operation in a red-black tree involves three main cases:

1. **Case 1: Recoloring**

- If the node to be deleted or its replacement is red, recolor it black.

2. **Case 2: Black Height Violation**

- If the node to be deleted is black and its replacement is black, adjust the black heights.

- This may involve rotations and further adjustments.

3. **Case 3: Propagation to the Root**

- Continue the adjustment towards the root if necessary.

- This ensures that the root remains black.

**Algorithm for Deletion:**

Algorithm DeleteRBTree(root, key):

Delete the node with the given key as in a standard binary search tree.

Fix any violations of red-black tree properties starting from the node that was replaced.

- Case 1: Recoloring

- Case 2: Black Height Violation

- Case 3: Propagation to the Root

```

These algorithms ensure that the red-black tree properties are maintained after insertion and

deletion operations, preserving the logarithmic time complexity of the tree.

//Explain open addressing and closed addressing with examples

**Open Addressing:**

Open addressing is a technique used to resolve collisions in hash tables by finding an

alternative location within the table for the collided element. Instead of using additional data

structures like linked lists, open addressing places the collided element in the next available

(open) slot in the table.

There are different strategies within open addressing, such as linear probing, quadratic probing,

and double hashing. Here's a brief explanation of linear probing as an example:

**Linear Probing:**

- When a collision occurs at position (h(k)) (hashed value \(h(k)\) is occupied), search for the

next available slot (h(k) + 1), then (h(k) + 2), and so on until an open slot is found.

- The probing sequence is linear.

Hash Function: h(k) = k % 10

Initial Table: [5, 15, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _]

Insert 25:

h(25) = 25 % 10 = 5 (collision)

Linear probing: h(25) + 1 = 6 (occupied), h(25) + 2 = 7 (occupied), ...

Insert at h(25) + 3 = 8: [5, 15, _, _, _, _, _, _, 25, _]

```

**Closed Addressing (Separate Chaining):**

Closed addressing, also known as separate chaining, resolves collisions by storing all collided

elements in the same slot using a data structure like a linked list. Each slot in the hash table

contains a list of elements, and when a collision occurs, the new element is added to the list at

that position.

```plaintext

Hash Function: h(k) = k % 10

Initial Table: [_, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _]

Insert 25:

h(25) = 25 % 10 = 5 (no collision)

Insert at position h(25): [_, _, _, _, _, 25, _, _, _, _]

Insert 15:

h(15) = 15 % 10 = 5 (collision)
Insert at position h(15): [_, _, _, _, _, 25 -> 15, _, _, _]

```

In closed addressing, each slot can be seen as a "bucket" that may contain multiple elements.

This method is more memory-efficient but may suffer from increased search times if the lists

become long. The choice between open addressing and closed addressing depends on factors

like the expected load factor and the efficiency of the collision resolution strategy.

//Explain about splay tree? Explain about merits and de merits of slay tree? And advantages

and disadvantages of slay tree?

**Splay Tree:**

A splay tree is a self-adjusting binary search tree with the property that recently accessed nodes

are quickly moved to the root. This tree performs basic operations such as search, insertion,

and deletion, and it automatically rearranges its structure to optimize access patterns. Splay

trees achieve this through a series of rotations and restructuring operations known as

"splaying."

**Splaying Operation:**

When an element is accessed, the splaying operation is applied, which involves a sequence of

rotations and restructuring to bring the accessed node to the root. This operation adapts the tree

to the access pattern, making frequently accessed elements more accessible.

**Merits (Advantages) of Splay Trees:**

1. **Adaptability:** Splay trees dynamically adapt to the access patterns, ensuring that

frequently accessed elements are placed closer to the root. This can improve the efficiency of

subsequent operations on those elements.

2. **Self-Balancing:** Splay trees inherently maintain a certain balance through the splaying

operation, even though they do not strictly enforce a balanced structure. This makes them more

resilient to skewed input data.

3. **Ease of Implementation:** Splay trees are relatively simple to implement compared to some

other self-adjusting trees. The splaying operation involves a small set of rotation and
restructuring rules.

4. **Amortized Efficiency:** While individual splaying operations might be costly, the amortized

cost over a sequence of operations is often favorable.

**Demerits (Disadvantages) of Splay Trees:**

1. **Lack of Strict Balance:** Unlike AVL trees or red-black trees, splay trees do not guarantee a

strict balance. In some cases, this lack of balance may lead to inefficient performance for certain

access patterns.

2. **Potentially High Cost:** Although splay trees offer amortized efficiency, individual splaying

operations can have a high cost in terms of time complexity. This may lead to variable

performance depending on the access patterns.

3. **Sensitivity to Initial Structure:** The initial structure of the tree and the sequence of

operations can affect the overall performance. In some cases, an unfavorable access pattern

may lead to suboptimal outcomes.

4. **Complexity in Analysis:** Analyzing the performance of splay trees is complex due to the

lack of a clear structural property. This complexity makes it challenging to precisely determine

the worst-case time complexity for specific operations.

In summary, splay trees are adaptive and self-adjusting structures, but they come with

trade-offs, including a lack of strict balance and potential sensitivity to access patterns. The

choice of using a splay tree depends on the nature of the data and the expected access

patterns in a specific application.

//What is hash table and what it's contain?

And application of hashing?

**Hash Table:**

A hash table, also known as a hash map, is a data structure that implements an associative

array abstract data type. It uses a hash function to map keys to indexes in an array. This allows

for efficient insertion, deletion, and lookup operations, typically with an average time complexity

of O(1). The array used in a hash table is often referred to as a "bucket array."

**Components of a Hash Table:**

1. **Key:** The identifier used to associate a value in the hash table. Keys are mapped to
indexes using a hash function.

2. **Value:** The data associated with a specific key. It can be any type of data, such as

integers, strings, or complex objects.

3. **Hash Function:** A function that takes a key as input and produces a hash code (hash

value or index) that determines the position in the array where the corresponding value will be

stored.

4. **Bucket Array:** An array that holds the values associated with keys. Each index in the array

is referred to as a "bucket." In the case of collisions (when two keys hash to the same index),

additional data structures such as linked lists or open addressing are used to handle multiple

values at the same index.

**Application of Hashing:**

1. **Data Retrieval:** Hash tables are widely used for efficient data retrieval. They provide fast

access to values based on their keys, making them suitable for applications where quick

lookups are essential.

2. **Caching:** Hashing is used in caching mechanisms to store frequently accessed data. The

hash function helps quickly determine if a requested item is already in the cache.

3. **Databases:** Hashing is employed in databases for indexing and searching records based

on key values. It accelerates search operations by mapping keys to specific locations.

4. **Symbol Tables:** Hash tables are used to implement symbol tables in compilers and

interpreters, where identifiers (symbols) are associated with their corresponding attributes or

values.

5. **Distributed Systems:** Hashing is often used in distributed systems for load balancing and

partitioning data across multiple nodes. Consistent hashing is a specific technique employed in

distributed hash tables.

6. **Password Storage:** Hash functions are used to securely store passwords. The hash of a

password is stored, and during login, the entered password's hash is compared with the stored

hash.

7. **File Systems:** Hashing is applied in file systems for quick access to file locations. File

names or identifiers are hashed to determine the storage location.

Hashing is a versatile technique with applications in various domains where efficient key-based

data retrieval and storage are crucial. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to provide constant-time
average complexity for fundamental operations.

write the algorithm for 0/1 knapsack problem using dynamic programing and explain it ?

Algorithm:

Define the problem:

Let n be the number of items.

Let w[i] be the weight of the i-th item (1 <= i <= n).

Let v[i] be the value of the i-th item (1 <= i <= n).

Let W be the knapsack's weight capacity.

Create a DP table:

Build a two-dimensional array dp[n+1][W+1].

Initialize all elements of the table to 0.

Fill the DP table:

Iterate through the table starting from dp[1][1] to dp[n][W].

For each cell dp[i][j], consider two cases:

Case 1: Exclude the i-th item:

The maximum value in this case is simply the value from the previous subproblem without the i-th
item, dp[i-1][j].

Case 2: Include the i-th item:

If the item's weight w[i] is less than or equal to the remaining capacity j, then the maximum value
can be the sum of the item's value v[i] and the maximum value achievable using the first i-1 items
with the remaining capacity (j-w[i]), i.e., v[i] + dp[i-1][j-w[i]].

Choose the maximum value of these two cases for dp[i][j]: dp[i][j] = max(dp[i-1][j], v[i] + dp[i-1][j-
w[i]]).

Find the optimal solution:

The final value in the table, dp[n][W], represents the maximum value achievable using all items
within the knapsack's weight limit.
Trace back the solution (optional):

To determine which items were included in the optimal solution, start from dp[n][W] and work your
way back through the table, selecting the item that contributed to the higher value in each step. This
involves keeping track of the choices made during the max calculations in step 3.

Explanation:

The DP table stores the optimal values for all subproblems, avoiding re-computations.

Case 1 ensures we consider the optimal solution without the current item.

Case 2 checks if including the current item within the remaining capacity results in a better value
than excluding it.

Choosing the maximum value guarantees the overall optimal solution.

Example:

Consider a knapsack with capacity W = 7 and three items with weights and values:

Item Weight (w[i]) Value (v[i])

1 3 4

2 4 5

3 2 3

Using the algorithm, the DP table would look like:

W=0 W=1 W=2 W=3 W=4 W=5 W=6 W=7

i=0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

i=1 0 0 4 4 4 4 4 4

i=2 0 0 4 5 5 5 9 9

i=3 0 0 4 5 7 7 7 9

The final value dp[3][7] = 9 indicates the maximum achievable value. Tracing back shows items 2 and
3 were included in the optimal solution.

Complexity:

Dynamic programming provides a powerful and efficient approach for solving the 0/1 knapsack

Case 1: Exclude the i-th item:

The maximum value in this case is simply the value from the previous subproblem without the i-th
item, dp[i-1][j].

Case 2: Include the i-th item:

If the item's weight w[i] is less than or equal to the remaining capacity j, then the maximum value
can be the sum of the item's value v[i] and the maximum value achievable using the first i-1 items
with the remaining capacity (j-w[i]), i.e., v[i] + dp[i-1][j-w[i]].

Choose the maximum value of these two cases for dp[i][j]: dp[i][j] = max(dp[i-1][j], v[i] + dp[i-1][j-
w[i]]).

Find the optimal solution:

The final value in the table, dp[n][W], represents the maximum value achievable using all items
within the knapsack's weight limit.

Trace back the solution (optional):

To determine which items were included in the optimal solution, start from dp[n][W] and work your
way back through the table, selecting the item that contributed to the higher value in each step. This
involves keeping track of the choices made during the max calculations in step 3.

Explanation:

The DP table stores the optimal values for all subproblems, avoiding re-computations.

Case 1 ensures we consider the optimal solution without the current item.

Case 2 checks if including the current item within the remaining capacity results in a better value
than excluding it.

Choosing the maximum value guarantees the overall optimal solution.

Example:

Consider a knapsack with capacity W = 7 and three items with weights and values:

Item Weight (w[i]) Value (v[i])

1 3 4

2 4 5

3 2 3

Using the algorithm, the DP table would look like:

W=0 W=1 W=2 W=3 W=4 W=5 W=6 W=7

i=0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

i=1 0 0 4 4 4 4 4 4

i=2 0 0 4 5 5 5 9 9

i=3 0 0 4 5 7 7 7 9

The final value dp[3][7] = 9 indicates the maximum achievable value. Tracing back shows items 2 and
3 were included in the optimal solution.

Complexity:

Time complexity: O(nW)

Space complexity: O(nW)

Dynamic programming provides a powerful and efficient approach for solving the 0/1 knapsack
problem. The key takeaway is the iterative construction of the DP table, leveraging subproblems to
efficiently find the optimal solution.

Derive the Best, Worst and Average time complexities of Quick sorting technique ?

Complexity:

Time complexity: O(nW)

Time Complexity of Quick Sort: Best, Worst, and Average Cases

Quick Sort is a divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm based on partitioning a list around a pivot
element. Its time complexity varies depending on the chosen pivot and the initial state of the list.

Best Case:
The best-case scenario occurs when the chosen pivot element for each partition perfectly divides the
list into two sub-lists of roughly equal size. This effectively splits the problem into half in each
iteration, leading to a logarithmic time complexity:

Number of comparisons: In each iteration, only n-1 comparisons are made to partition the list
around the pivot. Since the list is divided by 2 in each iteration, the total number of comparisons is:

T(n) = (n-1) + (n/2 - 1) + (n/4 - 1) + ... = n log2(n)

Therefore, the best-case time complexity is O(n log n).

Worst Case:

The worst case happens when the chosen pivot element is either the minimum or the maximum
element in the list. This results in one sub-list containing all elements except the pivot, while the
other sub-list remains empty. The problem is not effectively divided, leading to quadratic time
complexity:

Number of comparisons: In each iteration, only n-1 comparisons are made, but the sub-list with all
elements remains unsorted and needs to be processed in subsequent iterations. This leads to n
comparisons at every level of recursion, resulting in a total of:

T(n) = n + (n-1) + (n-2) + ... = n(n-1) / 2 = O(n^2)

Therefore, the worst-case time complexity is O(n^2).

Average Case:

The average case is more realistically representative of Quick Sort's performance. Here, the pivot is
chosen randomly, leading to a more balanced partitioning on average. Based on empirical analysis
and theoretical studies, the average-case time complexity of Quick Sort is also O(n log n), making it a
highly efficient sorting algorithm for most practical scenarios.

Summary:

Best Case: O(n log n)

Worst Case: O(n^2)

Average Case: O(n log n)

Additional Factors:
The performance of Quick Sort can be further improved by using optimized pivot selection strategies
like median-of-three partitioning.

Quick Sort has a relatively high space complexity compared to some other sorting algorithms due to
its recursive nature.

Despite its worst-case performance, Quick Sort's average-case efficiency and practical effectiveness
make it a popular choice for real-world sorting tasks.
