COMPUTER SCIENCE

Chapter 2 contains an algorithm that finds the largest value in a list of n values. a. What is the order of magnitude of the largest value algorithm, where the work unit is comparisons of values from the list? b. Suppose that you want to find the second-largest value in the list. Find the order of magnitude of the work done if you use the following algorithm: Sort the list, using selection sort, then directly get the second-largest value. c. Suppose that you want to find the second-largest value in the list. Find the order of magnitude of the work done if you use the following algorithm: Run the largest-value algorithm twice, first to find (and eliminate from the list) the largest value, then to find the second-largest value.
