Hi,

I have a question from my homework. I think my teacher needs an algorithm like quick select for this question is this correct?

The question:

Following a program (Subroutine) as a "black box" is given (for example, inside it is not clear and we do not even inside it) with the worst case linear time, can find the middle of n elements. Using this black box, get a simple linear algorithm that takes input i and find the element which its rank is equal to i (among the n elements)

Thanks.
