EXP.NO:1 IMPLEMENTATION OF LINEAR SEARCH

AIM : To Implement Linear Search. Determine the time required to search for an element. Repeat
the experiment for different values of n, the number of elements in the list to be searched and plot a
graph of the time taken versus n.

ALGORITHM :

1. Declare an array.
2. The linear_search function takes an array arr and an element x as input, and searches
for the element in the array using linear search.
3. If the element is found, it returns the index of the element in the array. Otherwise, it
returns -1.
4. The program defines a list n_values containing different values of n to test the linear
search algorithm on.
5. It then loops through this list, generates a random list of n elements, and searches for a
random element in the list.
6. It measures the time taken to perform the search using the time module, and appends the
time taken to a list time_values.
7. Finally, the program uses matplotlib library to plot a graph of the time taken versus n.
PROGRAM:
import time
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import random

def linear_search(arr, x):

for i in range(len(arr)):
if arr[i] == x:
return i
return -1

n_values = [100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000]

time_values = []

for n in n_values:
arr = [random.randint(0, n) for _ in range(n)]
x = random.randint(0, n)
 start_time = time.time()
linear_search(arr, x)
end_time = time.time()

time_values.append(end_time - start_time)

plt.plot(n_values, time_values)
plt.title('Linear Search')
plt.xlabel('Number of Elements')
plt.ylabel('Time Taken (seconds)')
plt.show()

OUTPUT:
Output 1:
n_values = [100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000]

Output 2 :
n_values = [10, 100, 1000, 1, 10000]
Result: Thus the python program for implementation of linear search program was executed and
verified successfully.

EXP.NO:2 IMPLEMENTATION OF RECURSIVE BINARY SEARCH

AIM :
To Implement recursive Binary Search. Determine the time required to search an element.
Repeat the experiment for different values of n, the number of elements in the list to be searched
and plot a graph of the time taken versus n.

ALGORITHM :

1. Declare the array.

 2. ‘binary_search_recursive’ is a recursive function that takes an array ‘arr’, the lower and
upper bounds of the subarray being searched ‘low ‘and ‘high', and the element being
searched for ‘x’.
3. It returns the index of the element if it is found, or -1 if it is not found.
4. The function ‘test_binary_search_recursive’ generates arrays of different sizes and runs a
binary search for a random element in each array.
5. It records the time taken to run the search and plots it on a graph.
6. The graph shows the time taken to search for an element versus the size of the array being
searched.
7. As the size of the array increases, the time taken to search for an element increases as well,
but the increase is logarithmic since binary search has a time complexity of O(log n).
PROGRAM :

import random
import time
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def binary_search_recursive(arr, low, high, x):

if high >= low:
mid = (high + low) // 2

if arr[mid] == x:
return mid

elif arr[mid] > x:

return binary_search_recursive(arr, low, mid - 1, x)

else:
return binary_search_recursive(arr, mid + 1, high, x)

else:
return -1

def test_binary_search_recursive():
for n in [10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000]:
arr = [random.randint(1, n) for i in range(n)]
arr.sort()

start_time = time.time()
 x = random.randint(1, n)
result = binary_search_recursive(arr, 0, n-1, x)
end_time = time.time()

if result == -1:
print(f"Element {x} not found in the array")
else:
print(f"Element {x} found at index {result}")

print(f"Time taken to search in array of size {n}: {end_time

- start_time}")
print("=" * 50)

plt.scatter(n, end_time - start_time)

plt.title("Recursive Binary Search Performance")

plt.xlabel("Size of Array")
plt.ylabel("Time Taken (in seconds)")
plt.show()

test_binary_search_recursive()

OUTPUT:
Element 4 not found in the array
Time taken to search in array of size 10: 7.3909759521484375e-06
==================================================
Element 31 found at index 36

verified successfully.

EXP.NO: 3 PATTERN MATCHING

AIM :

To implement all occurrences of pat [ ] in txt [ ]. You may assume that n > m. Given a text txt
[0...n-1] and a pattern pat [0...m-1], write a function search (char pat [ ], char txt [ ])
ALGORITHM :

1. One way to implement the search function is to use the brute-force approach, which involves
comparing each possible substring of the text with the pattern.

2. The algorithm iterates through the text from the first character to the (n-m)th character and
checks whether the pattern matches the substring of the text starting at that position.

3. If a match is found, the function prints the index of the match.

PROGRAM:

def search(pat, txt):

n = len(txt)
m = len(pat)
result = []

# Loop through the text and search for the pattern

for i in range(n-m+1):
j = 0
while(j < m):
if (txt[i+j] != pat[j]):
break
j += 1

# If the entire pattern is found, add the index to the resul

t list
if (j == m):
result. append(i)

return result
txt = "AABAACAADAABAABA"
pat = "AABA"
result = search(pat, txt)
print("Pattern found at indices:", result)

OUTPUT:

Pattern found at indices: [0, 9, 12]

Result: Thus the python program implementation of pattern matching was executed and verified
Successfully.

EXP.NO: 4 IMPLEMENTATION OF INSERTION SORT AND HEAP SORT

AIM :
 To Sort a given set of elements using the Insertion sort and Heap sort methods and determine
the time required to sort the elements. Repeat the experiment for different values of n, the number of
elements in the list to be sorted and plot a graph of the time taken versus n.

ALGORITHM:

Algorithm for insertion sort:

1. The insertion Sort function takes a list of elements and sorts them using the Insertion sort
algorithm.

2.The generate List function generates a list of n random numbers between 1 and 1000.

3.The measure Time function generates a list of n random numbers, sorts it using the insertion Sort
function, and measures the time required to sort the list.

4.The plot Graph function generates a list of n values and calls the measure Time function for each
n value. It then plots a graph of the time required to sort the list versus the value of n.

Algorithm for heap sort:

1. The heapify function takes an array arr, the size of the heap n, and the root index i of the subtree
to heapify. It compares the root node with its left and right children and swaps the root with the larger
child if necessary. The function then recursively calls itself on the subtree with the new root index.

2. The heap Sort function takes an array arr and sorts it using the Heap sort algorithm. It first builds a
max heap by heapifying all subtrees bottom-up. It then repeatedly extracts the maximum element from
the heap and places it at the end of the array.

3. The generate List function generates a list of n random numbers between 1 and 1000.

4. The measure Time function generates a list of n random numbers, sorts it using the heapSort
function, and measures the time required to sort the list.

5. The plotGraph function generates a list of n values and calls the measureTime function for each n
value. It then plots a graph of the time required to sort the list versus the value of n.

insertionSort(arr)
endTime = time.time()
return endTime - startTime

# Plot a graph of the time required to sort a list of n elements

EX.NO:9 IMPLEMENTATION OF FLOYD’S ALGORITHM FOR THE ALL-PAIRS-
SHORTEST- PATHS PROBLEM

AIM: To Implement Floyd’s algorithm for the All-Pairs- Shortest-Paths problem.

ALGORITHM:

Step1: In this program, INF represents infinity, and the floyd_algorithm function takes in a weighted
graph represented as a two-dimensional list where graph[i][j] is the weight of the edge from vertex i
to vertex j.

Step:2 The function returns a two-dimensional list dist where dist[i][j] is the shortest path from
vertex i to vertex j.

Step:3 The algorithm first initializes the dist list with the weights of the edges in the graph. It then
uses three nested loops to find the shortest path from vertex i to vertex j through vertex k.

Step:4 If the path through k is shorter than the current shortest path from i to j, it updates dist[i][j]
with the new shortest path.

Step:5 Finally, the program calls the floyd_algorithm function on a sample input graph and prints the
resulting dist list.

PROGRAM:

INF = float('inf')

def floyd_algorithm(graph):
n = len(graph)
dist = [[INF for j in range(n)] for i in range(n)]

for i in range(n):

EX.NO:10 COMPUTE THE TRANSITIVE CLOSURE OF A DIRECTED GRAPH USING
WARSHALL'S ALGORITHM

AIM: To Compute the transitive closure of a given directed graph using Warshall's algorithm.

ALGORITHM:

Step1: In this program, graph is a two-dimensional list representing the directed graph where graph[i]
[j] is 1 if there is an edge from vertex i to vertex j, and 0 otherwise.

Step2: The warshall_algorithm function returns a two-dimensional list representing the transitive
closure of the input graph.

Step3: The algorithm first creates a copy of the input graph as the initial transitive closure. It then uses
three nested loops to update the transitive closure by checking if there is a path from vertex i to vertex
j through vertex k. If there is, it sets transitive_closure[i][j] to 1.

Step4: Finally, the program calls the warshall_algorithm function on a sample input graph and prints
the resulting transitive closure.

PROGRAM:

def warshall_algorithm(graph):
n = len(graph)

# Create a copy of the original graph

transitive_closure = [row[:] for row in graph]

# Compute the transitive closure using Warshall's algorithm

transitive_closure[i][j] = transitive_closure[i][j]
or (transitive_closure[i][k] and transitive_closure[k][j])

EX.NO:12(B) IMPLEMENTATION OF QUICK SORT

AIM: To Implement Quick sort method to sort an array of elements and determine the time
required to sort. Repeat the experiment for different values of n, the number of elements in the
list to be sorted and plot a graph of the time taken versus n.

ALGORITHM:

Step1: This program generates a list of random integers of size n, sorts the list using the quicksort
function, and measures the time required to sort the list.

Step2: It repeats this process num_repeats times and returns the average time taken.

Step3: The main function of the program tests the measure_time function for different values of n
and plots a graph of the time taken versus n.

Step4: The maximum value of n is set to max_n, and the step size between values of n is set to
step_size.

Step5: The program uses the built-in random and time modules to generate random integers and
measure time, respectively. Additionally, the quicksort function is implemented recursively and sorts
the list in ascending order.

PROGRAM:

import random
import time

def quicksort(arr):
if len(arr) <= 1:
return arr
pivot = arr[0]
left = []
right = []
for i in range(1, len(arr)):

EX.NO:13 IMPLEMENTATION OF N QUEENS PROBLEM USING BACKTRACKING

AIM: To Implement N Queens problem using Backtracking.

ALGORITHM:

Step1: The is_safe function checks whether a queen can be placed in the current cell without
conflicting with any other queens on the board.

Step2: The solve_n_queens function places queens one by one in each column, starting from the
leftmost column. If all queens are placed successfully, it returns True. Otherwise, it backtracks and
removes the queen from the current cell and tries to place it in a different row in the same column.

Step3: The print_board function prints the final board configuration after all queens have been
placed.

Step4: The n_queens function initializes the board and calls the solve_n_queens function to solve the
N Queens problem. If a solution exists, it prints the board configuration. Otherwise, it prints a message
indicating that a solution does not exist.

PROGRAM:

def is_safe(board, row, col, n):

# Check if there is any queen in the same row
for i in range(col):
if board[row][i] == 1:
return False
# Check upper diagonal on left side
for i, j in zip(range(row, -1, -1), range(col, -1, -1)):
if board[i][j] == 1:
return False
# Check lower diagonal on left side
for i, j in zip(range(row, n), range(col, -1, -1)):
if board[i][j] == 1:
return False
return True

def solve_n_queens(board, col, n):

if col == n:
# All queens have been placed successfully
return True
for row in range(n):
if is_safe(board, row, col, n):
# Place the queen in the current cell
 board[row][col] = 1
# Recur to place rest of the queens
if solve_n_queens(board, col + 1, n):
return True
# Backtrack and remove the queen from the current cell
board[row][col] = 0
return False

def print_board(board, n):

for i in range(n):
for j in range(n):
print(board[i][j], end=" ")
print()

def n_queens(n):
# Initialize the board
board = [[0 for j in range(n)] for i in range(n)]
if not solve_n_queens(board, 0, n):
print("Solution does not exist.")
return False
print("Solution:")
print_board(board, n)
return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
n = int(input("Enter the number of queens: "))
n_queens(n)

OUTPUT:

Enter the number of queens: 4

Solution:
0 0 1 0
1 0 0 0
0 0 0 1
0 1 0 0

RESULT: Thus the python program for Implementation of N Queens problem using Backtracking
Technique was executed and verified successfully.
EX.NO:14 IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SCHEME TO FIND THE OPTIMAL
SOLUTION FOR THE TRAVELING SALESPERSON PROBLEM

AIM: To Implement any scheme to find the optimal solution for the Traveling Salesperson problem and
then solve the same problem instance using any approximation algorithm and determine the error in the
approximation.

ALGORITHM:

The following steps involved in solving TSP using branch and bound:
1. Construct a complete graph with the given cities as vertices, where the weight of each edge is the
distance between the two cities.
2. Initialize the lower bound to infinity and create an empty path.
3. Choose a starting vertex and add it to the path.
4. For each remaining vertex, compute the lower bound for the path that includes this vertex and add
it to the priority queue.
5. While the priority queue is not empty, select the path with the lowest lower bound and extend it by
adding the next vertex.
6. Update the lower bound for the new path and add it to the priority queue.
7. If all vertices have been added to the path, update the lower bound to the length of the complete
tour and update the optimal tour if the new tour is shorter.
8. Backtrack to the previous vertex and explore other paths until all paths have been explored.

PROGRAM:

 EX.NO:15 IMPLEMENTATION OF RANDOMIZED ALGORITHMS FOR FINDING
THE KTH SMALLEST NUMBER

AIM: To Implement randomized algorithms for finding the kth smallest number.

ALGORITHM:

1. The partition() function takes an array arr, low index low, and high index high as input and
partitions the array around a randomly chosen pivot. It returns the index of the pivot element.
2. The randomized_select() function takes an array arr, low index low, high index high, and the value
of k as input and returns the kth smallest element in the array. It first selects a random pivot element
using random.randint() function and partitions the array using the partition() function. Then it
recursively calls itself on either the left or right partition depending on the position of the pivot
element.
3. In the main section, we define an array arr and the value of k. Then we calculate the length of the
array n and call the randomized_select() function on the array to find the kth smallest element.

PROGRAM:

import random

# Function to partition the array around a pivot

def partition(arr, low, high):
i = low - 1
pivot = arr[high]
for j in range(low, high):
if arr[j] <= pivot:
i += 1
arr[i], arr[j] = arr[j], arr[i]
arr[i+1], arr[high] = arr[high], arr[i+1]
return i+1

# Function to find the kth smallest number using randomized

algorithm
def randomized_select(arr, low, high, k):
if low == high:
return arr[low]
pivot_index = random.randint(low, high)
arr[pivot_index], arr[high] = arr[high], arr[pivot_index]
index = partition(arr, low, high)
if k == index:
return arr[k]
elif k < index:
return randomized_select(arr, low, index-1, k)
else:
return randomized_select(arr, index+1, high, k)

# Testing the function

arr = [9, 4, 2, 7, 3, 6]
k = 3
n = len(arr)
result = randomized_select(arr, 0, n-1, k-1)
print(f"The {k}th smallest number is: {result}")

OUTPUT:

The 3th smallest number is: 4

RESULT: Thus the python program for implementation of randomized algorithms for finding the k th
smallest number was executed and verified successfully.
