while
The j loop is running from 2 to the length of the array and then value in the index of array is stored in the key variable. After that the variable j is decreased by 1 and stored in the variable i.
Now, while loop is used in which two conditions are given: first condition is variable i is greater than 0 and the value of the array at index i must be less than key value.
The value at index i is swapped at the index

Suppose the function MergeSort() is a recursive implementation of the me Oln) as (Select] Ollog n) MergeSort() recursively called, if A is of size n? Answer.arrow_forwardModify the FindBestPlan(S) function to create a function FindBestPlan(S, O),where O is a desired sort order for S, and which considers interesting sortorders. A null order indicates that the order is not relevant. Hints: An algorithmA may give the desired order O; if not a sort operation may need to be added to get the desired order. If A is a merge-join, FindBestPlan must be invoked on the two inputs with the desired orders for the inputs.arrow_forwardQ: Modify the following algorithm of Merge Sort in such a way that during every recursive call it should divide the array into three partitions instead of two.

This means that as the number of elements (chocolates or students) increases significantly, the efficiency of merge sort remains relatively stable compared to other sorting algorithms. Merge sort achieves this efficiency by recursively dividing the input array into smaller sub-arrays, sorting them individually, and then merging them back together. The efficiency of merge sort is primarily determined by its time complexity, which is , where n is the number of elements in the array. This time complexity indicates that the time taken by merge sort grows logarithmically with the size of the input array. Therefore, even as the number of chocolates or students increases significantly, merge sort maintains its relatively efficient performance. Regarding the distribution of a given set of x to y using iterative and recursive functions, the complexity analysis depends on the specific implementation of each…arrow_forwardCreate a bottom-up mergesort that takes advantage of array order by doing the following each time it has to identify two arrays to merge: locate a sorted subarray (by incrementing a pointer until it finds an entry in the array that is smaller than its predecessor), then locate the next, and finally merge them. Examine the algorithm's running time in terms of array size and the number of maximal rising sequences in the array.arrow_forward
- Develop a merging implementation based on the following idea to reduce the required extra space to max(M, N/M): For the purpose of simplicity, split the array into N/M blocks of size M and assume that N is a multiple of M. Following that, (i) use selection sort to order the blocks, treating them as items and using their first key as the sort key; and (ii) iterate over the array, merging the first block with the second, the second block with the third, and so on.

- Shell sort is an in-place comparison-based sorting algorithm which is based on insertion sort algorithm. It works as follow : It breaks the original list into a number of smaller sublists, each of which is sorted using an insertion sort. The unique way that these sublists are chosen is the key to the shell sort. Instead of breaking the list into sublists of contiguous items, the shell sort uses an increment i, sometimes called the gap, to create a sublist by choosing all items that are i items apart. n a) We say that the our initial gap is floor: when we divide our sequence into 2k n sublists where 2k k>0 be the number of passes that can be increment until the denominator not greater than n, n and then sorting the elements which are position away with insertion sort. We have three 2k passes for an array size of 8 to 15.
