Given an array A of integer type of length n (n > 7), write a pseudocode of an efficient algorithm for finding the seven smallest elements in A. What is the running time of your algorithm?
array k has m elements k[0],….,k[m-1], and the elements have disntict values.You are asked to design a parallel algorithm to find the 2nd largest element in k.
Given an array A and a positive integer k, the selection problem amounts to finding the largestelement x ∈ A such that at most k elements of A are less than or equal to x, or nil if no suchelement exists. A simple way to implement it is as follows:SimpleSelection(A, k)1 if k > A.length2 return nil3 else sort A in ascending order4 return A[k]Example A = (29, 28, 35, 20, 9, 33, 8, 9, 11, 6, 21, 28, 18, 36, 1) k = 6
