You are interested in analyzing some hard-to-obtain data from two separate databases. Each database contains n numerical values-so there are 2n values total-and you may assume that no two values are the same. You'd like to determine the median of this set of 2n values, which we will define here to be the nth smallest value. However, the only way you can access these values is through queries to the databases. In a single query, you can specify a value k to one of the two databases, and the chosen database will return the kth smallest value that it contains. Since queries are expensive, you would like to compute the median using as few queries as possible.

Required:
Give an algorithm that finds the median value using at most O(log n) quires.

Given a link with a maximum transmission rate of 32.8 mbps. only two computers, x and y, wish to transmit starting at time t = 0 seconds. computer x sends filex (4 mib) and computer y sends filey (244 kib), both starting at time t = 0. statistical multiplexing is used, with details as follows packet payload size = 1000 bytes packet header size = 24 bytes (overhead) ignore processing and queueing delays assume partial packets (packets consisting of less than 1000 bytes of data) are padded so that they are the same size as full packets. assume continuous alternating-packet transmission. computer x gets the transmission medium first. at what time (t = ? ) would filey finish transmitting? give answer in milliseconds, without units, and round to one decimal places (e.g. for an answer of 0.013777 seconds you would enter "13.8" without the quotes)

This program should be a short piece of code that prints all of the positive integers from 1 to 100 as described more fully below. the program may contain multiple methods, and if using an oo language, should be contained within a single class or object. the program should be designed so that it begins execution when invoked through whichever mechanism is most common for the implementation language. â–ş print out all positive integers from 1 to 100, inclusive and in order. â–ş print messages to standard output, matching the sample output below. â–ş in the output, state whether the each integer is 'odd' or 'even' in the output. â–ş if the number is divisible by three, instead of stating that the number is odd or even, state that the number is 'divisible by three'. â–ş if the number is divisible by both two and three, instead of saying that the number is odd, even or divisible by three; state that the number is 'divisible by two and three'. â–ş design the logic of the loop to be as efficient as possible, using the minimal number of operations to perform the required logic. sample output the number '1' is odd. the number '2' is even. the number '3' is divisible by three. the number '6' is divisible by two and three.
