Python Assignment
• Devise an experiment to verify that the list index operator is O(1)
• Devise an experiment to verify that get item and set item are O(1) for dictionaries.
• Devise an experiment that compares the performance of the del operator on lists and dictionaries.
• Given a list of numbers in random order, write an algorithm that works in O(nlog(n)) to find the kth smallest number in the list.
• Can you improve the algorithm from the previous problem to be linear? Explain.
