The blank is type of decision-maker who over analyzes information

)a grad student comes up with the following algorithm to sort an array a[1..n] that works by first sorting the first 2/3rds of the array, then sorting the last 2/3rds of the (resulting) array, and finally sorting the first 2/3rds of the new array. 1: function g-sort(a, n) . takes as input an array of n numbers, a[1..n] 2: g-sort-recurse(a, 1, n) 3: end function 4: function g-sort-recurse(a, `, u) 5: if u ⒠` ≤ 0 then 6: return . 1 or fewer elements already sorted 7: else if u ⒠` = 1 then . 2 elements 8: if a[u] < a[`] then . swap values 9: temp ↠a[u] 10: a[u] ↠a[`] 11: a[`] ↠temp 12: end if 13: else . 3 or more elements 14: size ↠u ⒠` + 1 15: twothirds ↠d(2 ◠size)/3e 16: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 17: g-sort-recurse(a, u ⒠twothirds + 1, u) 18: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 19: end if 20: end function first (5 pts), prove that the algorithm correctly sorts the numbers in the array (in increasing order). after showing that it correctly sorts 1 and 2 element intervals, you may make the (incorrect) assumption that the number of elements being passed to g-sort-recurse is always a multiple of 3 to simplify the notation (and drop the floors/ceilings).

Write a program called assignment3 (saved in a file assignment3.java) that computes the greatest common divisor of two given integers. one of the oldest numerical algorithms was described by the greek mathematician, euclid, in 300 b.c. it is a simple but very e↵ective algorithm that computes the greatest common divisor of two given integers. for instance, given integers 24 and 18, the greatest common divisor is 6, because 6 is the largest integer that divides evenly into both 24 and 18. we will denote the greatest common divisor of x and y as gcd(x, y). the algorithm is based on the clever idea that the gcd(x, y) = gcd(x ! y, y) if x > = y and gcd(x, y) = gcd(x, y ! x) if x < y. the algorithm consists of a series of steps (loop iterations) where the “larger” integer is replaced by the di↵erence of the larger and smaller integer. this continues until the two values are equal. that is then the gcd.
