Question
![Determine a recurrence relation for the divide-and-conquer sum-computation
algorithm. The problem is computing the sum of n numbers. This algorithm
divides the problem into two instances of the same problem: to compute the
sum of the first [n/2] numbers and compute the sum of the remaining [n/2]
numbers. Once each of these two sums is computed by applying the same
method recursively, we can add their values to get the sum in question.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/b401b2ab-e2de-4746-937d-a8d7e8cb272e/fc5eb2ea-23cf-4e09-9ae7-9602a523d946/7g5rgs_thumbnail.png)

- With the Binary Search algorithm, the algorithm can be developed by the loop-based form as well as a recursive form. Which of the following is not true?

The search range starts with the whole array, and only the recursive version can work on a subrange passed through arguments. O Both forms of the program divide the search range repeatedly in half.
