Consider a sequence of real numbers (assume is even). We are interested in partitioning the numbers into pairs (that is, each of the numbers appears in exactly one of the pairs) in the following way. For each pair in the partition, compute the sum of its numbers. Denote by the sums. The goal is to find the partition that minimizes the maximum sum. (a) Describe concisely in English the idea of a brute-force algorithm for solving this problem, and provide, using big- notation, the worst-case running time of your algorithm. (b) Establish a mathematical result that will allow you to design a worst-case polynomial-time algorithm for the problem, and prove the result. (c) Describe the polynomial-time algorithm and provide, using big- notation, its worst-case running time.

Write a method named addall that could be placed inside the hashintset class. this method accepts another hashintset as a parameter and adds all elements from that set into the current set, if they are not already present. for example, if a set s1 contains [1, 2, 3] and another set s2 contains [1, 7, 3, 9], the call of s1.addall(s2); would change s1 to store [1, 2, 3, 7, 9] in some order. you are allowed to call methods on your set and/or the other set. do not modify the set passed in. this method should run in o(n) time where n is the number of elements in the parameter set passed in.
