Explanation of Solution

Bubble sort:

This is simple sorting algorithm to sort the elements in ascending order or descending order.

  • This algorithm makes the several passes through the elements of the array and the smallest elements are “bubble up” to the top of the array.
  • On each pass, the larger elements are “bubbled” towards the end of the array.
  • After all the passes are completed, the elements are arranged from smallest to biggest in order.

Example:

Consider the list of elements (4, 8, 2, 6) to perform the bubble sort.

Pass 1:

  • Compare the elements in the first pair (4 and 8); no swap is needed because the pair is already in order.
  • Now compare the elements in the second pair (8 and 2); the value 8 is higher than the value 2. So, swap the values 8 and 2.
  • Compare the elements in the third pair (8 and 6); the value 8 is higher than the value 6. So, swap the values 8 and 6.

(Dynamic Programming.) Recall the problem presented in Assign- ment 3 where given a list L of n ordered integers you're tasked with removing m of them such that the distance between the closest two remaining integers is maxi- mized. See Assignment 1 for further clarification and examples. As it turns out there is no (known) greedy algorithm to solve this problem. However, there is a dynamic programming solution. Devise a dynamic programming solution which determines the maximum distance between the closest two points after removing m numbers. Note, it doesn't need to return the resulting list itself. Hint 1: Your sub-problems should be of the form S(i, j), where S(i, j) returns the maximum distance of the closest two numbers when only considering removing j of the first i numbers in L. As an example if L [3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15], then S(4, 1) = 2, since the closest two values of L' = [3,4,6,8] are 6 and 8 after removing 4 (note, 8-6 = = 2). = Hint 2: For the sub-problem S(i, j),…
