Let R, K, L, S, Y, and X be variables standing for integers. Consider a database storage system with a (contiguous) file that consists of 2^R fixed-length records, such that the length of each record is equal to 2^L bytes. The block size is equal to 2^K bytes, and the block transfer time is equal to 2^S seconds. This storage system is managed by a computer whose primary memory consists of 2^Y bytes.

Assume that the values of the variables are as follows. R = 35 K = 14 L = 4 S = -7 Y = 32

Let A be one of the fields in the record of this file. The worst-case running time required for sorting this file on the field A is equal to 2^X seconds. Calculate the value of X, and write it into the empty box below.
