Consider the following pseudocode that finds $x$ in a list of sorted numbers by using ternary search. The algorithm is simlar to binary search, only it splits the current list into three parts (instead of two) and checks which part $x$ may be in. Thus at each step, the algorithm removes 2/3 of the items in the current list. Find the complexity of the algorithm. Is it faster or slower asymptotically than binary search

Program description: a c# app is to be created to produce morse code. the morse code assigns a series of dots and dashes to each letter of the alphabet, each digit, and a few special characters (such as period, comma, colon, and semicolon). in sound-oriented systems, the dot represents a short sound and the dash represents a long sound. separation between words is indicated by a space, or, quite simply, the absence of a dot or dash. in a sound-oriented system, a space is indicated by a short period of time during which no sound is transmitted. the international version of the morse code is stored in the data file morse.txt.

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a,b,c,d sharing the medium. (a) stations a,b,c,d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful.when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?
