Consider the algorithm for insertion sort shown below. The input to this algorithm is an array A. You must assume that indexing begins at 1.  Follow this algorithm for A[1..4] =< 7, 9, 6, 8 >. Specifically, please indicate the contents of the array after each iteration of the outer for loop.

Homework 7: Merging two sorted arrays Due date: Saturday March 18. Objectives: Learn to implement algorithms that work with multiple arrays. Understand the Merging algorithm. IMPORTANT. Carefully study Lecture 1 from Week 8 on D2L before you start on this.   Sometimes we need to combine the values in two sorted sequences to produce a larger sorted sequence. This process is called Merging. As an example, if the first sequence (S1)contains the numbers 2 3 4 4 5 9 and the second sequence (S2) contains the numbers 1 4 5 8 9 11 12 13 17 the output sequence will contain 1 2 3 4 4 4 5 5 8 9 9 11 12 13 17 Each sequence can be stored in an array. The strategy is as follows: Start by comparing the first items in the two input arrays. Write the smaller number to the output array, and move to the the next item in that array. This is repeated until we reach the end of any one of the input arrays; thereafter, we simply copy all the numbers from the other input array to the output array. (In the…
