- You want to design an algorithm, called minMax(A,p,r), that takes an array of integers and indexes of the first and last elements, and returns the minimum and maximum values in that range. Now write the pseudo code of a divide and conquer (and therefore, recursive) algorithm with the same time complexity (Θ(n)). You can assume that p ≤ r. Also, in your code, you can return two numbers by returning a pair, e.g. “return (a, b)”, and can save the output in a similar way, e.g. “(a, b) = minMax(parameters)”.

Your algorithm should not use an iterative loop.
