This programming project should be completed and submitted by Monday of Week $3$ if you are following the suggested course schedule. It is worth $8\%$ of your

final grade. Please refer to the "Assessments Overview" tab for details on submission of your work. Your overall course assessment information is found in

your Course Guide.

The Shell sort $($invented by Dr$.$ Donald Shell$)$ is a variation of the bubble$/$exchange sort. Instead of comparing adjacent values, the Shell sort adapts

the partitioning concept from the binary search to determine a "gap" across which values are compared before any swap takes place. In the first

pass, the gap is half the size of the array. For each subsequent pass, the gap size is cut in half. For the final pass$($es$),$ the gap size is $1,$ so it would

be the same as a bubble sort. The passes continue until no swaps occur.

Below is the same set of values as per the bubble sort example in Chapter $18($p$.667),$ showing the first pass of the Shell sort:

The pseudo$-$code for the Shell sort is as follows:do until gap do until swapflag is false for s$=0$ to size $-$ gap swap num$[$s$]$ with num$[$s $+$ gap$]$ end$-$ifend$-$doend$-$doModify Sorting.java to include a shel$1$Sort method that implements the above algorithm. Include an output of the array any time a swap

occurs to demonstrate that your code works correctly. For the driver, create an Integer array using an initializer list to reproduce the above example

and two additional random sets of $10$ and $20$ integers.

The bubble sort algorithm shown in Chapter $18$ is less efficient than it could be$.$ If a pass is made through the list without exchanging any elements,

the list is sorted and there is no reason to continue. Create a copy of the bubbleSort method called bubbleSort$2$ that implements this

algorithm so that is will stop as soon as it recognizes that the list is sorted. Do not use a break statement! Include outputs of the array for both sorts

for each pass through the array so you can demonstrate that the code is working correctly. The driver should test both methods with a random set

of $10$ integers and an already sorted set of $10$ integers.

Hint: You have to introduce a swap flag that is set true if a swap occurs on a given pass. Replace the outer "for loop"

with a "while loop" that tests the swapflag and takes care of "index counting" within the loop.

Hint: Remember that arrays are passed by reference in Java. Use Arrays $.$ copyof $()$ or a similar method to test each

sort method on the exact same data content in separate arrays.

Modify the shel$1$Sort, bubbleSort, and bubbleSort. $2$ methods from above by adding code to each to tally the total number of comparisons

made between the elements being sorted $($i$.$e$.,$ just the compareTo$()$ calls; ignore relational operators between indexes$).$ Also tally and report the

number of swaps that occur. Determine and report the total execution time of each algorithm. Comment out the outputs of each swap or pass for

this final step. Execute each of these sort algorithms against the same list, recording information for the total number of comparisons and total

execution time. The driver should construct lists of size $10,100,$ and $1000-$both in random and already in sorted order. Use the Integer wrapper

class for the array type.

Use a spreadsheet to present the test cases you have prepared, along with the comparisons, swaps, and execution time. Describe how the data

obtained relates to the theoretical discussion of algorithm efficiency presented in the chapter.
