Problem 3. Consider the following Partition algorithm used by QuicKSORT (this version of Partition is based on the algorithm from the slides with the for-loop replaced by a while-loop). \begin{tabular}{l} \hline Algorithm PaRtition (L, start, end ) : \\ 1: v,i,j:=L[ start ], start, start +1. \\ 2: while j= end do \\ 3: if L[j]v then \\ 4:i:=i+1. \\ 5: Exchange L[i] and L[j]. \\ 6: end if \\ 7: j:=j+1. \\ 8: end while \\ 9: Exchange L[i] and L[ start ] \\ 10: return i. \end{tabular} P3.1. Illustrate the operations performed by Partition on the array A=[21,45,7,12,28,11,17]. Show the content of A after each execution of the loop body. P3.2. Provide pre-conditions and post-conditions for Partition and provide an invariant and bound function for the while-loop at Line 2. Prove the correctness of PaRTITION. P3.3. Argue how Partition can be adjusted to run on singly linked lists L, while keeping a running time of L
