2Algorithms & logicFOR i FROM 6 TO 118 INCLUSIVE STEP 4: print i. How many numbers are printed?
3Algorithms & logicAn outer loop runs 10 times. Each time, an inner loop prints once on each of 21 iterations. How many prints occur?
4Data structuresA sorted array has 15 entries. Binary search always inspects a middle entry. What is the largest number of inspected entries for a successful search? Round the final result to 4 decimal places if needed.
5Data structuresA sorted array has 8191 entries. Binary search always inspects a middle entry. What is the largest number of inspected entries for a successful search? Round the final result to 4 decimal places if needed.
6Data structuresA sorted array has 63 entries. Binary search always inspects a middle entry. What is the largest number of inspected entries for a successful search? Round the final result to 4 decimal places if needed.
