Exercise 3 : Searching Applications Select one of the following two problems to solve : Problem 1 : Design and implement an algorithm that determines whether or not a given array of elements , list1 , is completely contained within another given array of elements , list2 . Consider two different scenarios : 1 ) both arrays are sorted ; 2 ) both arrays are unsorted . Problem 2 : Design an algorithm that when given a collection of integers in an unsorted array , determines the second smallest number ( or second minimum ). For example , if the array consists of the values 12 , 23 , 9 , 17 , 3 , the algorithm should report the value 9 , since it is the second smallest number in the array . Write a function that receives an array as a parameter and returns the second smallest number . To test your function , write a program that populates an array with random numbers and then call your function . Exercise 4 : Hashing Suppose that the type of key in a hashing application you are implementing is String ( Sections 19.6 and 19.7 in our textbook explain hash functions for strings ). Design , implement , and test a hash function that converts a key to a hash value . Assume that the size of the hash table is a prime number .
