Question

An algorithm called Shell Sort is inspired by Insertion Sort's ability to take advantage of the order of the elements in the list, . In Shell Sort, the entire list is divided into noncontiguous sublists whose elements are a distance h apart for some number h. Each sublist is then sorted using Insertion Sort. During the next pass, the value of h is reduced, increasing the size of each sublist. Usually the value of each h is chosen to be relatively prime to its previous value. The final pass uses the value 1 for h to sort the list. Write an algorithm for Shell Sort, study its performance, and compare the result with the performance of Insertion Sort.

Explanation / Answer

While away on business, Tom had many opportunities to be unfaithful to his wife. However, he knew the damage such behavior would have on his family, so made the decision to avoid the women who had expressed interest in him. When Michael saw the $5 bill lying on the floor with no one around it, he turned it into the school office in case anyone came looking for it. He wouldn’t want to lose $5, and hoped that whoever had lost it would ask about it in the office. The cashier only charged the couple for one meal even though they had eaten two. They could have gotten away with only paying for one, but they pointed out the cashier’s mistake and offered to pay for both meals. They wanted to be honest and they knew that the restaurant owner and employees needed to make a living
