Consider the following divide-and-conquer approach for counting the number of inversions in x: partition x into xl = {x1, . . , xn/2} and xr = {xn/2+ }. all we need to do is to add nl (total number inversions in xl), nr (total number inversions in xr), and the number of inversions occur between xl and xr. complete the design and analysis this algorithm.

A911 dispatcher is the sole sender of messages to all police officers. while on patrol, officers communicate with the dispatcher who, in turn, relays messages to other officers. the officers do not communicate directly with one another. this illustrates a network.

Problem 1 - hashing we would like to use initials to locate an individual. for instance, mel should locate the person mark e. lehr. note: this is all upper case. generate a hash function for the above using the numbers on your telephone. you know, each letter has a number associated with it, so examine your telephone keypad. generate 512 random 3 letter initials and take statistics on a linked list array size 512 to hold this information report how many have no elements, 1 element, 2 elements, does this agree with the hashing statistics distribution?
