In the textbook, we found that the number of element visits for merge sort totaled n + 5nlog₂n. Let's consider sorting 1024 elements. How many visits are needed? A) 1.024 B) 6,144 C) 51,200 D) 52,224

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for the number of element visits in merge sort is n + 5nlog₂n. For n = 1024, log₂1024 = 10. Therefore, the number of visits is 1024 + 5 * 1024 * 10 = 1024 + 51200 = 52224.
