Determine and explain the order of your solution to Exercise 17.5.
What will be an ideal response?
Using our trace in the solution to Exercise 17.5 as an example, we can see that each time we divide the list in half, it results in twice as many calls to the sum method. We can also reason that it will take logn such divisions until we have lists of length one. Our trace, summing the numbers from 1 to 7 results in 13 calls to the sum method (roughly 2n calls to the sum method). Since the sum method without the recursive portion is O(1), the resulting time complexity would be O(n).
