Question
Please help with this question. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
![Consider the following recursive algorithm.
**Algorithm** *Mystery* A[0..n – 1]
//Input: An array A[0..n – 1] of real numbers
if n = 1 return A[0]
else temp ← *Riddle*(A[0..n – 2])
 if temp ≤ A[n – 1] return temp
 else return A[n – 1]
a. What does this algorithm compute?
b. What is its input size?
c. What is its basic operation?
d. Set up a recurrence relation for the algorithm’s basic operation count and solve it.
e. What is the efficiency class of this algorithm?](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/7757f974-220a-4bcf-b905-f534f24cec51/caae39d2-09f7-4df1-aaa1-45e3225bba87/fui1oi_thumbnail.png)
