Question1 (b)Consider the followingalgorithmwhere Small is an array of ninteger values:
 
AlgorithmQ1
//Input: An array Smallcontaining ninteger values
b = ∞
for h = 1 to n-1
      for k = h + 1 to n
          if (Small[h] –Small[k]) < b
                      b = Small[h] –Small[k]
                          return b
 
i.Explain what does this algorithm compute.
ii.Findthe asymptotic bound/complexity ofthis algorithm.
iii.Producean improved algorithm to Question1 (b) above with a better asymptotic complexity/running time.
iv.Findthe asymptotic bound/complexity of the improvedalgorithmin Question 1(b)iii. above.
