Address Calculation Sort (Bucket Sort) uses a simple numerical calculation on the key of a record (like hashing) to determine in which bucket the record belongs. This calculation averages O(1). It then uses a simple insertion sort to order the record correctly within the bucket. (a) What is the complexity of Address Calculation Sort. Please support your answer - a proof is not required. (b) Will Address Calculation Sort exploit ordering in the data (reverse order, in order, or both)? Why or why not. (c) Supposing the data is clustered, non-uniform, in its distribution. How does this affect the complexity of the sort. Support your answer.
