Question
Don't try to replicate someone else's work or use an AI platform to generate an answer. If I see these things, I'll definitely downvote you and report you.
[画像:Write a Python program named "Mountain Explorer.py" that begins by defining and initializing an array of 25 floating-point numbers representing the heights of different mountains. The array values are as follows: 8848.86, 8611.12, 8192.04, 7890.98, 7546.23, 7310.55, 7101.98, 6907.23, 6685.91, 6476.23, 6221.98, 6088.55, 5896.32, 5631.21, 5410.75, 5222.33, 5084.56, 4924.43, 4750.23, 4592.13, 4421.77, 4268.23, 4124.89, 3982.65. (a) Prompt the user for a target value (Key) representing a mountain height. Pass the value, the array, and the size of the array to a function that implements the linear or sequential search algorithm. This function should count the number of comparisons until it finds the value and return the count to the main function. (b) Call a function that uses the merge sort algorithm to sort the given array. (c) Call a function that uses the binary search algorithm to locate the same target value (Key). Pass the value, the sorted array, and the size of the array to this function. The function should keep track of the number of comparisons and return this count to the main function. Display the number of comparisons for both search functions in the main with appropriate messages.]
