Stooge sort is a "bad" recursive sorting algorithm. given an array a, the algorithm can be defined as follows: step 1: if the value at the leftmost position of the array is larger than the value at the rightmost position then swap values. step 2: if there are 3 or more elements in the array, then:  recursively call stooge sort with the initial 2/3 of the array.  recursively call stooge sort with the last 2/3 of the array.  recursively call stooge sort with the initial 2/3 of the array again. give a recurrence for the number of comparisons executed by the stooge sort algorithm. solve the recurrence to determine the theoretical running time of the stooge sort algorithm.

Your task this week is to write a very simple spam classifier in python. it will classify messages as either spam (unwanted) or ham (wanted). the program will have a set of spam_words, words that are known to appear in spam messages. that set is included in the template file spam. pypreview the document. you will also define a spam threshold which reflects the allowed percentage of spam words in the message. you'll compute a 'spam indicator', which is the ratio of spam words to the total number of unique words in the message. if the spam indicator exceeds the spam threshold, the message is classified as spam. otherwise it is classified as ham. we'll assume that the spam threshold is a constant and has a value of 0.10. your program will prompt the user for a message and then will print the corresponding spam indicator with two decimal digits and the corresponding classification (spam or ham). the program will be case insensitive. the spam words are detected whether they are in lower case or upper case or mixed case. each word, spam or not, is counted once (even if it appears multiple times in the message.) the program will remove punctuation from the message before identifying the words and computing the spam indicator. for example '! ' must be identified as the spam word 'now'.

The following function returns a string of length n whose characters are all 'x'. give the order of growth (as a function of n) of the running time. recall that concatenating two strings in java takes time proportional to the sum of their lengths. public static string f(int n) { if (n == 0) return ""; if (n == 1) return "x"; return f(n/2) + f(n - n/2); } options: a) constant b) logarithmic c) linear d) linearithmic e)quadratic f)cubic g) exponential

What is the main benefit of minimizing the ribbon in word? more options will be accessible through customized keystrokes. more of the document will be viewable without needing to scroll. fewer controls will be accessible to the user by using the mouse. fewer editing options will be available without entering a password.
