7.Suppose that we want to sort an array of n elements, where each element is a string of at most 1000 characters. What is the time requirement for applying radix sort to sort this array?

8.Suppose we want to sort the following array of integers using radix sort:

a=[14 682 120 50 327]

What are the intermediate steps?

9.What are the intermediate steps for patitioning the folloiwng array when taking the pivot as the median of the first,middle, and last items (suppse that the threshold for calling insertion sort is an array of size 2)

a= [12 5 8 6 9 11 10 ]

10.Although radix sort has the best time efficiency among other sorting algorithm it is not always applicable because it imposes some restrictions on the type of the data that can be sorted.

True

False

The U.S. Census Bureau signed a $600 million contract with Harris corporation in 2006 to build 500,000 devices, but still weren’t sure which features they wanted included in the units. Census officials did not specify the testing process to measure the performance of the handheld devices. Four hundred change requests were added to the project requirements. Two years and hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars later, the handhelds were far too slow and unreliable to be used for the 2010 U.S. census.

• What could Census Bureau management and the Harris Corporation have done to prevent this outcome?

7.61/ At the beginning of 2013, Gannon Company received a three-year zero-interest-bearing $1,000 trade note. The market rate for equivalent notes was 8% at that time. Gannon reported this note as a $1,000 trade note receivable on its 2013 year-end statement of financial position and $1,000 as sales revenue for 2013. What effect did this accounting for the note have on Gannon's net earnings for 2013, 2014, 2015, and its retained earnings at the end of 2015, respectively? And explain Why?

7.56/ Assuming that the ideal measure of short-term receivables in the balance sheet is the discounted value of the cash to be received in the future, failure to follow this practice usually does not make the balance sheet misleading because (Explain why choosing?)
a. most short-term receivables are not interest-bearing.
b. the allowance for uncollectible accounts includes a discount element.
c. the amount of the discount is not material.
d. most receivables can be sold to a bank or factor.

In the game of Lucky Sevens, the player rolls a pair of dice. If the dots add up to 7, the player wins $4; otherwise, the player loses $1.

Suppose that, to entice the gullible, a casino tells players that there are lots of ways to win: (1, 6), (2, 5), and so on. A little mathematical analysis reveals that there are not enough ways to win to make the game worthwhile; however, because many people’s eyes glaze over at the first mention of mathematics, your challenge is to write a program that demonstrates the futility of playing the game.

Your program should take as input the amount of money that the player wants to put into the pot, and play the game until the pot is empty. At that point, the program should print:

1. The number of rolls it took to break the player
2. The maximum amount of money in the pot.

An example of the program input and output is shown below:

How many dollars do you have? 50

You are broke after 220 rolls.
You should have quit after 6 rolls when you had $59
