Geometric increments. Run experiments to determine a value of t that leads to the lowest running time of shellsort for random arrays for the increment sequence 1, [t], [t 2], [t 3], [t 4], . . . for N = 10 6. Give the values of tand the increment sequences for the best three values that you find. The following exercises describe various clients for helping to evaluate sorting methods. They are intended as starting points for helping to understand performance properties, using random data. In all of them, use time(), as in SortCompare, so that you can get more accurate results by specifying more trials in the second command-line argument. We refer back to these exercises in later sections when evaluating more sophisticated methods.
