Sorting Algorithms
a) Merge Sort
Explanation:
Merge Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that splits an array into halves, recursively
sorts each half, and merges the sorted halves to produce the final sorted array.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void merge(int arr[], int left, int mid, int right) {
int n1 = mid - left + 1;
int n2 = right - mid;
int L[n1], R[n2];
for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++) L[i] = arr[left + i];
for (int j = 0; j < n2; j++) R[j] = arr[mid + 1 + j];
int i = 0, j = 0, k = left;
while (i < n1 && j < n2) {
if (L[i] <= R[j]) arr[k++] = L[i++];
else arr[k++] = R[j++];
}
while (i < n1) arr[k++] = L[i++];
while (j < n2) arr[k++] = R[j++];
}
void mergeSort(int arr[], int left, int right) {
if (left < right) {
int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
mergeSort(arr, left, mid);
mergeSort(arr, mid + 1, right);
merge(arr, left, mid, right);
}
}
int main() {
int arr[] = {12, 11, 13, 5, 6, 7};
int arr_size = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
mergeSort(arr, 0, arr_size - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < arr_size; i++) cout << arr[i] << " ";
return 0;
}
Time Complexity Analysis:
• Best, Worst, Average Case: O(n log n)
b) Quick Sort
Explanation:
Quick Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that selects a pivot, partitions the array around
the pivot, and recursively sorts the partitions.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int partition(int arr[], int low, int high) {
int pivot = arr[high];
int i = low - 1;
for (int j = low; j < high; j++) {
if (arr[j] < pivot) {
i++;
swap(arr[i], arr[j]);
}
}
swap(arr[i + 1], arr[high]);
return i + 1;
}
void quickSort(int arr[], int low, int high) {
if (low < high) {
int pi = partition(arr, low, high);
quickSort(arr, low, pi - 1);
quickSort(arr, pi + 1, high);
}
}
int main() {
int arr[] = {10, 7, 8, 9, 1, 5};
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
quickSort(arr, 0, n - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) cout << arr[i] << " ";
return 0;
}
Time Complexity Analysis:
• Best and Average Case: O(n log n)
• Worst Case: O(n^2)
C) Bubble Sort
Explanation:
Bubble Sort repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if
they are in the wrong order.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void bubbleSort(int arr[], int n) {
for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < n - i - 1; j++) {
if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1]) {
swap(arr[j], arr[j + 1]);
}
}
}
}
int main() {
int arr[] = {64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90};
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
bubbleSort(arr, n);
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) cout << arr[i] << " ";
return 0;
}
Time Complexity Analysis:
• Best Case: O(n) when the array is already sorted.
• Worst and Average Case: O(n^2)
OUTPUTS
Merge Sort
______________
Input: [12, 11, 13, 5, 6, 7]

2. Search Algorithms
a) Linear Search
Explanation:
Linear Search iteratively checks each element in the array to find the target.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int linearSearch(int arr[], int n, int x) {
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (arr[i] == x) return i;
}
return -1;
}
int main() {
int arr[] = {2, 3, 4, 10, 40};
int x = 10;
int result = linearSearch(arr, 5, x);
cout << "Element found at index " << result;
return 0;
}
Time Complexity Analysis:
• Best Case: O(1)
• Worst Case: O(n)
b) Binary Search
Explanation:
Binary Search divides the sorted array into halves to locate the target element efficiently.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int binarySearch(int arr[], int l, int r, int x) {
while (l <= r) {
int m = l + (r - l) / 2;
if (arr[m] == x) return m;
if (arr[m] < x) l = m + 1;
else r = m - 1;
}
return -1;
}
int main() {
int arr[] = {2, 3, 4, 10, 40};
int x = 10;
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
int result = binarySearch(arr, 0, n - 1, x);
cout << "Element found at index " << result;
return 0;
}
Time Complexity Analysis:
• Best Case: O(1)
• Worst and Average Case: O(log n)
OUTPUT
Linear Search
______________
Input: Array: [2, 3, 4, 10, 40], Target: 10
Output: Element found at index 3
Binary Search
______________
Input: Sorted Array: [2, 3, 4, 10, 40], Target: 10
Output: Element found at index 3
3. Huffman Coding
Explanation:
Huffman Coding is a greedy algorithm used for data compression, where frequently
occurring characters are represented with shorter codes.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
#include <vector>
#include <map>
using namespace std;
struct Node {
char ch;
int freq;
Node* left;
Node* right;
Node(char character, int frequency) {
ch = character;
freq = frequency;
left = right = nullptr;
}
};
struct Compare {
bool operator()(Node* l, Node* r) {
return l->freq > r->freq;
}
};
void printCodes(Node* root, string str) {
if (!root) return;
if (root->ch != '$') cout << root->ch << ": " << str << "\n";
printCodes(root->left, str + "0");
printCodes(root->right, str + "1");
}
void HuffmanCodes(char arr[], int freq[], int size) {
priority_queue<Node*, vector<Node*>, Compare> minHeap;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) minHeap.push(new Node(arr[i], freq[i]));
while (minHeap.size() != 1) {
Node* left = minHeap.top(); minHeap.pop();
Node* right = minHeap.top(); minHeap.pop();
Node* top = new Node('$', left->freq + right->freq);
top->left = left;
top->right = right;
minHeap.push(top);
}
printCodes(minHeap.top(), "");
}
int main() {
char arr[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'};
int freq[] = {5, 9, 12, 13, 16, 45};
int size = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
HuffmanCodes(arr, freq, size);
return 0;
}

int src, dest, weight;
};
struct Graph {
int V, E;
vector<Edge> edges;

DisjointSets(int n) {
parent = new int[n+1];
rank = new int[n+1];
for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
parent[i] = i;
rank[i] = 0;
}
}
int find(int u) {
if (u != parent[u])
parent[u] = find(parent[u]);
return parent[u];
}
void merge(int u, int v) {
u = find(u), v = find(v);
if (rank[u] > rank[v]) parent[v] = u;
else parent[u] = v;
if (rank[u] == rank[v]) rank[v]++;
}
};
bool compare(Edge e1, Edge e2) {
return e1.weight < e2.weight;
}
void KruskalMST(Graph& graph) {
sort(graph.edges.begin(), graph.edges.end(), compare);
DisjointSets ds(graph.V);
vector<Edge> mst;
for (Edge& edge : graph.edges) {
int uRep = ds.find(edge.src);
int vRep = ds.find(edge.dest);
if (uRep != vRep) {
mst.push_back(edge);
ds.merge(uRep, vRep);
}
}
cout << "Edges in the MST:\n";
for (Edge& edge : mst) {
cout << edge.src << " - " << edge.dest << ": " << edge.weight << endl;
}

int n = text.length();
int m = pattern.length();
for (int i = 0; i <= n - m; i++) {

Pattern found at index 9
Pattern found at index 12
b) Rabin-Karp Algorithm
Explanation:
The Rabin-Karp algorithm uses a hash function to compute the hash of the pattern and
compare it with hashes of substrings in the text, reducing unnecessary comparisons.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#define d 256
const int q = 101; // A prime number
void rabinKarp(const string& text, const string& pattern) {
int n = text.length();
int m = pattern.length();
int p = 0; // Hash value for pattern
int t = 0; // Hash value for text
int h = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < m - 1; i++) h = (h * d) % q;
for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
p = (d * p + pattern[i]) % q;
t = (d * t + text[i]) % q;
}
for (int i = 0; i <= n - m; i++) {
if (p == t) {
int j;
for (j = 0; j < m; j++) {
if (text[i + j] != pattern[j]) break;
}
if (j == m) cout << "Pattern found at index " << i << endl;
}
if (i < n - m) {
t = (d * (t - text[i] * h) + text[i + m]) % q;
if (t < 0) t += q;
}
}
}
int main() {

c) Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) Algorithm
Explanation:
The KMP algorithm preprocesses the pattern to create a "longest prefix suffix" (LPS) array,
which helps skip unnecessary comparisons in the search process.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
void computeLPSArray(const string& pattern, vector<int>& lps) {
int length = 0;
int i = 1;
lps[0] = 0;
while (i < pattern.length()) {
if (pattern[i] == pattern[length]) {
length++;
lps[i] = length;
i++;
} else {
if (length != 0) {
length = lps[length - 1];
} else {
lps[i] = 0;
i++;
}
}
}
}
void KMPSearch(const string& text, const string& pattern) {
int n = text.length();
int m = pattern.length();
vector<int> lps(m);
computeLPSArray(pattern, lps);
int i = 0; // Index for text
int j = 0; // Index for pattern
while (i < n) {
if (pattern[j] == text[i]) {
j++;
i++;
}
if (j == m) {
cout << "Pattern found at index " << i - j << endl;
j = lps[j - 1];
} else if (i < n && pattern[j] != text[i]) {
if (j != 0) j = lps[j - 1];
else i++;
}
}
}
int main() {
string text = "ABABDABACDABABCABAB";
string pattern = "ABABCABAB";
KMPSearch(text, pattern);
return 0;
}
Time Complexity Analysis:
• Preprocessing Time Complexity: O(m), where m is the length of the pattern.
• Search Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the length of the text.
