You are given pseudocode of the merge sort algorithm: mergeSort(int[] numbers, int start, int end){     if (start < end)  //base case is start = end and sorting an array of 1     {           middle = (start+end)/2;           mergeSort(numbers, start, middle);           mergeSort(numbers, middle+1, end);           merge(numbers, start, middle, end);      }} Merge Algorithm Access the first item from both sequences: start to middle is sequence_1 and middle+1 to end is sequence_2.while not finished with either sequence Compare the current items from the two sequences, copy the smaller current item to the output sequence and access the next item from the input sequence whose item was copied.Copy any remaining items from the first sequence to the output sequence.Copy any remaining items from the second sequence to the output sequence.override the values in the output sequence to the original sequence provided as input. If we have an array of size n that is used as input to the mergeSort() function,  What should be the values for the start and end parameters for the initial call to mergeSort()? Assume array is 0 indexed and state your answers in terms of size, n. start: [start] end: [end] What is the time complexity of a single merge() operation in the worst case in terms of Big O notation? State your answers in terms of size, n. e.g. [merge] The maximum number of stack frames for the mergeSort() at any given point of time in terms of Big O notation will be: [calls] State your answers in terms of size, n. e.g. If the call to merge function is merge([7, 2, 1, 6], 0, 0, 1), then the value of numbers vector at the end of this call will be [end_val]. State your answer in terms of four numbers separated by spaces, e.g. 1 2 6 7  If mergeSort is called with the following parameters: mergeSort([ 1 ], 0, 0), how many times will the merge() function be called recursively: [merge_call]

Which condition can lead to Eisenmenger’s syndrome if left untreated?

You are given two strings containing only lowercase English letters. Write a function in C++ or using pseudocode that takes as input the two strings and returns a string containing the characters common to both strings in alphabetical order using a set or map data structure (unordered_set, unordered_map, set, or map). You are not allowed to call the set_intersection method that is available in standard libraries. You MUST implement the intersection yourself.   Example 1:first string: “dabhieqiad”Second string: “bbxlwqyii”Output: “biiq”Example 2:First string: “kddaaannnnn”Second string: “yyyyydnnnaa”Output: “aadnnn”

While standing in line at the pharmacy, Mitrell notices that a woman walks in, picks up an allergy medication, and cuts in front of everyone who is waiting to pay. She walks up to the register, drops a $10 bill on the counter, and walks out. Mitrell assumes that this woman is very rude, but he does not know that there is a child in her car who is having an allergy attack. Mitrell’s judgment in this situation reflects
