3. Linear time algorithm for selection problem, given n numbers, find the k'th largest in linear time: Typical implementation starts with partitioning the n numbers into [n/5] groups and each group contains 5 numbers or less (the last group). My question is, how about we partition the numbers into 3 in a group or 7 in a group? Please explain.

Course: Algorithm Project: We will use the defintion of of n-Queens Problem from the chapter Backtracking. In this project you need to describe Problem and Algorithm and Indicate input and output clearly. Analyze and prove the time complexity of your algorithm. Implement the algorithm using backtracking(including writing testing case).illustrate key functions with comments indicating: What it does, what each parameter is used for, how it handles errors etc. Indicate the testing scenarios and testing the results in a clear way. Make sure source is commented appropriately and structured well.

Please do not give solution in image format thanku Implement the following recursively using sudo code: Suppose an elevator which is on a floor on n. For this elevator to go from the nth floor to the base(ground) floor, it should go to every floor under the nth floor. Let's consider an elevator on the 4th floor. This elevator 1st comes on the third(3rd) floor. 4th-> 3rd then 3rd-> 2nd then 2->1 and next 1->0(ground floor) The recursive equation defined is F(n)=1+F(n-1)

Let n be a positive integer and let MaxCrossing(n) be a function that returns the maximum number of line crossings that you can create by drawing n straight lines. Write down a recursive formula for MaxCrossing(n) and analyze the time complexity of the corresponding recursive algorithm. You must write a formal recursive formula including the base case and general recursive step. Note: if n=1, there is 0 crossing, if n = 2, there is 1 crossing, if n = 3, there are 3 crossings (not only 2) if n = 4, there are 6 crossings (not only 3) if n = 5, there are 10 crossings, etc.
