[6 marks]Describe an\nO(n log(n)) algorithm based on a variation of merge sort to fifind theclosest pair of a given set of points lying in a plane. You may assume that the setof points is given as a linked list of (x, y)\ncoordinates. [8 marks]Carefully prove that your algorithm can never take longer than O(n log(n)).[6 marks]Modify, with explanation, your algorithm to fifind the pair of points with minimumManhattan\ndistance. The Manhattan distance between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)is |x1 ? x2| + |y1 ? y2|.

[4 marks]Provide an algorithm to ascertain whether the Bezier curve defifined by P1P2P3P4lies within some tolerance, ,\nof the straight line segment, P1P4, which joins theBezier curve's end points. Your algorithm must return false if the Bezier curve isoutside the tolerance; it must return true if the curve is well\ninside the tolerance;it may return either true or false if the curve is inside, but not well inside, thetolerance. [6 marks]SECTION B5 Comparative Programming LanguagesGive a brief summary of the\nmain syntactic constructs found in the programminglanguage Smalltalk. Other languages often have the conditional constructsif-then-else and while. Show how these two constructs can be defifined in\nSmalltalk.[8 marks]Illustrate the use of Smalltalk by showing how you would defifine a method tocompute the factorial of an integer. [8 marks]Although Smalltalk was originally designed to be an\ninterpretive language, modernimplementations are dramatically more effiffifficient.

McBlahBlah, LLP (MBB) is auditing the Year 1 financial records of Coming Up With Names Is Really\nDifficult, Ya’ll (CUWNIRDY), LLC, a publicly-traded manufacturing company. CUWNIRDY has a December 31 year-end. MBB performed its year-end audit during January and February of Year 2. The financial\nstatements were scheduled to be issued on March 20, Year 2. The date of the audit report is March 15, Year 2. On March 17, Year 2, MBB was informed that there was a warehouse fire that destroyed 75%\nof CUWNIRDY’s inventory, which represented about 10% of total assets. CUWNIRDY added a note to the financial statements disclosing this fact. MBB was able to read the note and confirm the figures\nwith the insurance adjuster on March 18. A) How does the above affect the audit report date? (1 point)B) Explain.
