Implement the insertion sort and the Shell sort so that they count the number of comparisons made during a sort. Use your implementations to compare the two sorts on arrays of random Integer objects of various sizes. Also, compare the Shell sort as implemented in Segment 15.23 with a revised Shell sort that adds 1 to space any time it is even. For what array size does the difference in the number of comparisons become significant? Is the size consistent with the size predicted by the algorithm’s Big Oh?
