Answer / oracle

Simple, first compare all elements pairwise, total n/2
comparisons. Then, you got two sets, first set has all
greater elements, and second all smaller ones. Find largest
in the first set (n/2) and smallest in the second set
(n/2). You got both largest and smallest ones, in total n/2
+ n/2 + n/2 = 3n/2 comparisons.

Answer / ashekur rahman

Time Complexity T(n) <= 3n/2
Proof:
We will calculate comparison in three steps.
1) compare pairwise will divide two sub array.
2) linear search of first sub array
3) linear search of second sub array


For even number of elements,
step 1 needs n/2 comparisons where both sub array contains
n/2 number of elements. Step 2 or 3 needs (n/2 - 1)
comparisons by linear search.

T(n) = n/2 + 2(n/2 - 1)
= 3n/2 - 1

Again,

For odd number of elements,
step 1 needs (n/2 + 1) comparison.
Now if first sub array contains n/2 number of elements then
second sub array contains (n/2 + 1) number of elements

or if first sub array contains (n/2 + 1) number of elements
then second sub array contains n/2 number of elements

Therefore,
T(n) = (n/2 + 1) + (n/2 + 1 - 1) + (n/2 - 1)
= 3n/2

So, T(n) = 3n/2 - 1, if n is even number
and T(n) = 3n/2, if n is odd number

Answer / amirhosain shahsavari

hi
Some of notations in answer 5 is absolutely wrong:
for even number n: T(n)=(3/2)n-2
for odd number n: we ignore the last item of array.Now you
can find Min1 (minimum of the array items ignoring the last
item), Max1 (maximum of the array items ignoring the last
item) (notice that n-1 is even so Min1 and Max1 can be found
at (3/2)(n-1)-2 comparisons). After that you should compare
Min1 and Max1 with the last item (that you ignored in the
first step). so you need at most (3/2)(n-1)-2+2=(3/2)n-(3/2)
comparisons to find the entire array items
