Complete the table in the insert showing the outcome of applying the algorithm to the following two lists:
$$\begin{array} { l r l l l l l }
\text { List 1: } & 2 , & 34 , & 35 , & 56 & &
\text { List 2: } & 13 , & 22 , & 34 , & 81 , & 90 , & 92
\end{array}$$
What does the algorithm achieve?
How many comparisons did you make in applying the algorithm?
If the number of elements in List 1 is \(x\), and the number of elements in List 2 is \(y\), what is the maximum number of comparisons that will have to be made in applying the algorithm, and what is the minimum number?
