Question 81

An embedded systems engineer is choosing standard algorithms to implement on a microchip with limited memory.

Complete the table by writing the name of a search algorithm and a sort algorithm that match the given engineering constraints and operational characteristics.

Algorithm TypeOperational CharacteristicName of Algorithm
SearchRequires the dataset to be ordered beforehand and repeatedly halves the search space at each step.
SortSelects a pivot element and partitions the remaining elements into two sublists based on whether they are smaller or larger than the pivot.
