Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given rankings of 7 items, illustrate the counting inversion process using both brute force and the divide and conquer method, and provide the total count of inversions for both.
💡 Hint: Start with brute force; count pairs directly, then implement the recursion.
Question 2
How would you explain the significance of counting inversions in the context of recommendation systems? Provide illustrative examples.
💡 Hint: Focus on user comparisons and implications of similarities or dissimilarities.
