llustrate the performance of the quick-sort algorithm by providing the quick-sort tree T corresponding to (1) the input sequence processed and (2) the output sequencegenerated based on the following input sequence: (6,2,9,1,8,5,7,3). For the pivot, always use the first element of the list passed as input during the respective call to the quick-sort algorithm (including recursive calls at any level of the recursion).

Given the following code: if (n == 2) { k -= 2; } else if (n == 3) { k -= 3; } can be rewritten as: if (< condition > ) { < assignment statement > ; } assume that evaluating < condition > does not change the values stored in n and k. which of the following could be used as < assignment statement > ? k -= n; k -= 1; k -= 2; k += n; k = n - k;
