Question
In this problem, consider a non-standard sorting
array A[1 : n] of n integers, the algorithm is as follows:
Slow-Sort(A[1 : n]):
1. If n < 100, run merge sort (or selection sort or insertion sort) on A.
2. Otherwise, run Slow-Sort(A[1 : n −1]), Slow-Sort(A[2 : n]), and Slow-Sort(A[1 : n −1]) again.
Question: Prove the correctness of Slow-Sort.

- Consider sorting an array of length 10^12. Which algorithm would you recommend to implement to sort this array efficiently: selection sort, merge sort or quick sort? Why?arrow_forwardSuppose you have to compute AG sum(C)(r) as well as A,B Gsum(C)(r). Describe how to compute these together using a single sorting of r.arrow_forwardLet A be an array, where each of the n elements is a randomly chosen digit between 0 and 9. For example, if n = 12, this array could be A = [3,5,1,0,5,7,9,2,2,8,8,6]. Determine whether Counting Sort or Merge Sort sorts this array faster.arrow_forward
