CS161 - Homework 1
Due: Thursday July 2, 5:00pm
1. (5 points) What sorting method does the function
sort
use from
java.util.Arrays?
Make sure to cite your source.
Why do you think
this is the case?
2. (10 points) The table below contains run times for 6 different algo-
rithms.
The input sizes ranged from 1000 to 32000 seen at the top
of the table. For each of the algorithms, give the
θ
complexity of the
algorithms based on the running times and include a brief explaination
for your answer.

3. (10 points) Arrange the functions below in ascending order of growth
rate. Specifically, if
f
(
n
) =
O
(
g
(
n
)) then
f
(
n
) should be before
g
(
n
) in
the list. If two functions are asympotically equal, i.e.
f
(
n
) = Θ(
g
(
n
))
then note this in the list by including all elements in a set. For exam-
ple, given:
n,
log
n
,
n
+4, and
n
2
the list would be: log
n,
(
n, n
+4)
, n
2
.
