Question:

Suppose we are given a sequence S of n elements with integer keys such that some elements in S are colored “blue” and some elements in S are colored “red.” In addition, say that a red element e pairs with a blue element f if they have the same key value. Describe an efficient external-memory algorithm for finding all the red-blue pairs in S. How many disk transfers does your algorithm perform?
