To trace the number of exchanges and list each swap in the order they occur during the execution of the `Sort` algorithm on the input list (3, 4, 1, 2), let's step through the algorithm:
1. Initial input: (3, 4, 1, 2)
Now, let's follow the algorithm:
- i = 1, j = 4
- A[i] = 3, A[j] = 2 (A[i] > A[j] is true, so exchange)
Exchanged: (2, 4, 1, 3)
- Recursive call 1: Sort(A, 1, 4 - 1) -> Sort(A, 1, 3)
- i = 1, j = 3
- A[i] = 2, A[j] = 1 (A[i] > A[j] is true, so exchange)
Exchanged: (1, 4, 2, 3)
- Recursive call 2: Sort(A, 1, 3 - 1) -> Sort(A, 1, 2)
- i = 1, j = 2
- A[i] = 1, A[j] = 4 (A[i] <= A[j], no exchange)
- Recursive call 3: Sort(A, 1 + 1, 3) -> Sort(A, 2, 3)
- i = 2, j = 3
- A[i] = 2, A[j] = 4 (A[i] <= A[j], no exchange)
- Recursive call 1: Sort(A, 1, 3 - 1) -> Sort(A, 1, 2)
- i = 1, j = 2
- A[i] = 1, A[j] = 2 (A[i] <= A[j], no exchange)
- Recursive call 2: Sort(A, 1 + 1, 3) -> Sort(A, 2, 3)
- i = 2, j = 3
- A[i] = 2, A[j] = 3 (A[i] <= A[j], no exchange)
- i+1 >= j, so we return.
So, the total number of exchanges made during the execution of the `Sort` algorithm on the input list (3, 4, 1, 2) is 2, and the swaps occurred in the order mentioned above.
