1. Design and implement C/C++ Program to find Minimum Cost Spanning Tree of a given
connected undirected graph using Kruskal's algorithm.

Aim : To apply Kruskal's Algorithm for computing the minimum spanning tree is directly based
on the generic MST algorithm. It builds the MST in forest.

Definition: Kruskal’s algorithm is an algorithm in graph theory that finds a minimum spanning tree for a
connected weighted graph. This mean it finds a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every
vertex, where the total weight of all the edges in the tree is minimized. If the graph is not connected,
then it finds a minimum spanning forest .It is an example of a greedy algorithm.

Efficiency:With an efficient sorting algorithm,the time efficiency of Kruskal’s algorithm will be in

O(│E│log│E│)

Algorithm

Start with an empty set A, and select at every stage the shortest edge that has not been chosen or
rejected, regardless of where this edge is situated in graph.

 Initially, each vertex is in its own tree in forest.

 Then, algorithm consider each edge in turn, order by increasing weight.

 If an edge (u, v) connects two different trees, then (u, v) is added to the set of edges of the
MST, and two trees connected by an edge (u, v) are merged into a single tree.

 On the other hand, if an edge (u, v) connects two vertices in the same tree, then edge (u,
v) is discarded.

Kruskals algorithm can be implemented using disjoint set data structure or priority queue data
structure.

I Kruskal's algorithm implemented with disjoint-sets data structure.

MST_KRUSKAL (G, w)

1. A ← {} // A will ultimately contains the edges of the MST

2. for each vertex v in V[G]
3. do Make_Set (v)
4. Sort edge of E by nondecreasing weights w
5. for each edge (u, v) in E
6. do if FIND_SET (u) ≠ FIND_SET (v)
7. then A = AU{(u, v)}

Aim: To implement 0/1 Knapsack problem using Dynamic programming

Definition: using Dynamic programming

It gives us a way to design custom algorithms which systematically search all possibilities (thus
guaranteeing correctness) while storing results to avoid recomputing (thus providing efficiency).
We are given a set of n items from which we are to select some number of items to be carried
in a knapsack(BAG). Each item has both a weight and a profit. The objective is to choose the set of items
that fits in the knapsack and maximizes the profit.
Given a knapsack with maximum capacity W, and a set S consisting of n items , Each item i has some
weight wi and benefit value bi (all wi , bi and W are integer values)
Problem: How to pack the knapsack to achieve maximum total value of packed items?

Program 7 Design and implement C/C++ Program to solve discrete Knapsack and continuous Knapsack
problems using greedy approximation method.
This program first calculates the profit-to-weight ratio for each item, then sorts the items
based on this ratio in non-increasing order. It then fills the knapsack greedily by selecting
items with the highest ratio until the knapsack is full. If there's space left in the knapsack
after selecting whole items, it adds fractional parts of the next item. Finally, it prints the
optimal solution and the solution vector.

Here's a simplified version of the C program to solve discrete Knapsack and continuous Knapsack
problems using the greedy approximation method:

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 50

int p[MAX], w[MAX], x[MAX];

double maxprofit;
int n, m, i;

void greedyKnapsack(int n, int w[], int p[], int m) {

double ratio[MAX];

// Calculate the ratio of profit to weight for each item

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
ratio[i] = (double)p[i] / w[i];
}

// Sort items based on the ratio in non-increasing order

for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
if (ratio[i] < ratio[j]) {

Program 8 Design and implement C/C++ Program to find a subset of a given set S = {sl , s2,.....,sn} of n
positive integers whose sum is equal to a given positive integer d.

AIM: An instance of the Subset Sum problem is a pair (S, t), where S = {x1, x2, ..., xn} is a set of positive
integers and t (the target) is a positive integer. The decision problem asks for a subset of S whose sum is
as large as possible, but not larger than t.
Algorithm: SumOfSub (s, k, r)
//Values of x[ j ], 1 <= j < k, have been determined
//Node creation at level k taking place: also call for creation at level K+1 if possible
// s = sum of 1 to k-1 elements and r is sum of k to n elements
//generating left child that means including k in solution
Set x[k] = 1
If (s + s[k] = d) then subset found, print solution
If (s + s[k] + s[k+1] <=d)
then SumOfSum (s + s[k], k+1, r – s[k])
//Generate right child i.e. element k absent
If (s + r - s[k] >=d) AND (s + s[k+1] )<=d
THEN { x[k]=0;
SumOfSub(s, k+1, r – s[k])
Program:
#include<stdio.h>
// #include<conio.h>
#define MAX 10
int s[MAX],x[MAX],d;
void sumofsub(int p,int k,int r)
{
int i;
x[k]=1;
if((p+s[k])==d)
{
for(i=1;i<=k;i++)
if(x[i]==1)
printf("%d ",s[i]);
printf("\n");
}
else
if(p+s[k]+s[k+1]<=d)
sumofsub(p+s[k],k+1,r-s[k]);
if((p+r-s[k]>=d) && (p+s[k+1]<=d))
{
x[k]=0;
sumofsub(p,k+1,r-s[k]);
}
}

Program 9 Design and implement C/C++ Program to sort a given set of n integer elements using
Selection Sort method and compute its time complexity. Run the program for varied values of n> 5000
and record the time taken to sort. Plot a graph of the time taken versus n. The elements can be read
from a file or can be generated using the random number generator.
Aim: Sort a given set of elements using Selection sort and determine the time required to sort elements.
Repeat the experiment for different values of n, the number of elements in the list to be sorted and plot
a graph of the time taken versus n.

Definition: selection sort is a sorting routine that scans a list of items repeatedly and, on each pass,
selects the item with the lowest value and places it in its final position. It is based on brute force
approach. Sequential search is a Θ(n2) algorithm on all inputs.

Algorithm:
SelectionSort(A[0…n-1])
//sort a given array by select5ion sort
//input:A[0…n-1]of orderable elements
Output:Array a[0…n-1] Sorted in ascending order

Program 10 Design and implement C/C++ Program to sort a given set of n integer elements using
Quick Sort method and compute its time complexity. Run the program for varied values of n> 5000 and
record the time taken to sort. Plot a graph of the time taken versus n. The elements can be read from a
file or can be generated using the random number generator.
Aim:
The aim of this program is to sort ‘n’ randomly generated elements using Quick sort and Plotting
the graph of the time taken to sort n elements versus n.
Definition: Quick sort is based on the Divide and conquer approach. Quick sort divides array according
to their value. Partition is the situation where all the elements before some position s are smaller than
or equal to A[s] and all the elements after position s are greater than or equal to A[s].
Efficiency: Cbest(n) Є Θ(nlog2n),Cworst(n) ЄΘ(n2),Cavg(n)Є1.38nlog2n
Algorithm: Quick sort (A[l….r])
// Sorts a sub array by quick sort
//Input : A sub array A[l..r] of A[0..n-1] ,defined by its left and right indices l
//and r
// Output : The sub array A[l..r] sorted in non decreasing order
if l < r
s = Partition (A[l..r]) //s is a split position
Quick sort (A[l …s-1])
Quick sort (A[s+1…r])

ALGORITHM Partition (A[l…r])

//Partition a sub array by using its first element as a pivot
// Input : A sub array A[l…r] of A[0…n-1] defined by its left and right indices l and // r (l < r)

record the time taken to sort. Plot a graph of the time taken versus n. The elements can be read from a
file or can be generated using the random number generator.
Aim:

The aim of this program is to sort ‘n’ randomly generated elements using Merge sort and Plotting
the graph of the time taken to sort n elements versus n.
Definition: Merge sort is a sort algorithm based on divide and conquer technique. It divides the array
element based on the position in the array. The concept is that we first break the list into two smaller
lists of roughly the same size, and then use merge sort recursively on the subproblems, until they cannot
subdivide anymore. Then, we can merge by stepping through the lists in linear time. Its time efficiency is
Θ(n log n).
Algorithm: Merge sort (A[0…n-1]
// Sorts array A[0..n-1] by Recursive merge sort
// Input : An array A[0..n-1] elements
// Output : Array A[0..n-1] sorted in non decreasing order
If n > 1
Copy A[0…(n/2)-1] to B[0…(n/2)-1]
Copy A[0…(n/2)-1] to C[0…(n/2)-1]
Mergesort (B[0…(n/2)-1])
Mergesort (C[0…(n/2)-1])
Merge(B,C,A)

ALGORITHM Merge (B[0…p-1], C[0…q-1],A[0….p+q-1])

// merges two sorted arrays into one sorted array
// Input : Arrays B[0..p-1] and C[0…q-1] both sorted
// Output : Sorted array A[0…. p+q-1] of the elements of B and C
I = 0;
J = 0;
K= 0;
While I < p and j < q do
If B[i] <= C[j]
A[k]= B[I]; I= I+1;
Else
A[k] = B[i]; I=i+1
K=k+1;
If I = = p

Program 12 Design and implement C/C++ Program for N Queen's problem using Backtracking.
Aim: To implement N Queens Problem using Back Tracking
Definition:
The object is to place queens on a chess board in such as way as no queen can capture another
one in a single move
Recall that a queen can move horz, vert, or diagonally an infinite distance
This implies that no two queens can be on the same row, col, or diagonal
We usually want to know how many different placements there are
Using Backtracking Techniques

Algorithm:
/* outputs all possible acceptable positions of n queens on n x n chessboard */
// Initialize x [ ] to zero
// Set k = 1 start with first queen
Repeat for i = 1 to n // try all columns one by one for kth queen
if Place (k, i) true then
{
x(k) = i // place kth queen in column i
if (k=n) all queens placed and hence print output (x[ ])
else NQueens(K+1,n) //try for next queen
}
Place (k,i)
/* finds if kth queen in kth row can be placed in column i or not; returns true if queen can be placed */
// x[1,2, . . . k-1] have been defined
//queens at (p, q) & (r, s) attack if |p-r| = |q-s|
Repeat for j = 1 to (k-1)
if any earlier jth queen is in ith column ( x[j]= i)
or in same diagonal ( abs(x[ j] - i) = abs( j - k) )
then kth queen cannot be placed (return false)
return true (as all positions checked and no objection)
