Which of the following best describes the steps taken 4321
by the merge sort algorithm when sorting the array 3421
containing the following numbers: 4 3 2 1. 3412
1234
Java treats a recursive method call differently from an False
ordinary method call.
Which of the following best describes the binary A sorted array is searched starting in the middle. If the middle element is
search algorithm? smaller than the search item, the right half is searched recursively. If the
middle element is larger than the search item, the left half is searched
recursively. The search continues until the search item is found or no items are
left.
Which of the following is not required for the correct Only one branch may contain a recursive call.
implementation of a recursive method?
A recursive method must contain a base case, True
otherwise it will not terminate.
