Write a program using user defined functions that accepts a List of numbers as an argument and finds its median. (Hint : Use bubble sort to sort the accepted list. If there are odd number of terms, the median is the center term. If there are even number of terms, add the two middle terms and divide by 2 get median)

Using linear search determine the position of 8, 1, 99 and 44 in the list:

[1, -2, 32, 8, 17, 19, 42, 13, 0, 44]

Draw a detailed table showing the values of the variables and the decisions taken in each pass of linear search.

Use the linear search program to search the key with value 8 in the list having duplicate values such as [42, -2, 32, 8, 17, 19, 42, 13, 8, 44]. What is the position returned? What does this mean?

Write a program that takes as input a list having a mix of 10 negative and positive numbers and a key value. Apply linear search to find whether the key is present in the list or not. If the key is present it should display the position of the key in the list otherwise it should print an appropriate message. Run the program for at least 3 different keys and note the result.

Following is a list of unsorted/unordered numbers:

[50, 31, 21, 28, 72, 41, 73, 93, 68, 43, 45, 78, 5, 17, 97, 71, 69, 61, 88, 75, 99, 44, 55, 9]

• Use linear search to determine the position of 1, 5, 55, and 99 in the list. Also, note the number of key comparisons required to find each of these numbers in the list.
• Use a Python function to sort/arrange the list in ascending order.
• Again, use linear search to determine the position of 1, 5, 55, and 99 in the list and note the number of key comparisons required to find these numbers in the list.
• Use binary search to determine the position of 1, 5, 55, and 99 in the sorted list. Record the number of iterations required in each case.

Write a program that takes as input the following unsorted list of English words:

[Perfect, Stupendous, Wondrous, Gorgeous, Awesome, Mirthful, Fabulous, Splendid, Incredible, Outstanding, Propitious, Remarkable, Stellar, Unbelievable, Super, Amazing].

• Use linear search to find the position of Amazing, Perfect, Great, and Wondrous in the list. Also, note the number of key comparisons required to find these words in the list.
• Use a Python function to sort the list.
• Again, use linear search to determine the position of Amazing, Perfect, Great, and Wondrous in the list and note the number of key comparisons required to find these words in the list.
• Use binary search to determine the position of Amazing, Perfect, Great, and Wondrous in the sorted list. Record the number of iterations required in each case.
