A. Answer the following questions: 1. When a sorting algorithm is said to be stable? Explain clearly. 2. Of the sorting algorithms below, which of these are stable, and which are not? You should explain for each of them why it is, or is not, stable. 3. For each of the algorithms that are not stable, can a minor change to the implementation make it stable? If so, clearly describe the change. If not, explain why it is impossible, or very difficult, to change the algorithm. i) Insertion Sort ii) Selection Sort iii) Heap Sort iv) Merge Sort v) Quick Sort vi) Radix Sort

Investigate both the iterative and the recursive methods of problem resolution, and then compare and contrast the results of your research. When would you use iteration when recursion would be more appropriate, and when would you use recursion when iteration would be more appropriate? Your answer should be justified by giving examples that are different from those that are shown on the slides of the presentation.
