Question 7

+2 marksOne correct option

Consider the following statements and answer the given subquestions if they are true or false.

An adversary can provide randomized quicksort with an input array of length nn that forces the algorithm to run in ω(nlg⁡n)\omega(n \lg n) time on that input. (If you are not familiar with the ω\omega asymptotic notation, it roughly translates as “at least’ ’. For example, we can say that it is possible to come up with an input that forces insertion sort to run for ω(n2)\omega(n^2) steps.)
