The algorithm presented in this chapter for finding the length of the longest subarray with the numbers in increasing order is inefficient, because there is no need to continue to search for another array if the length already found is greater than the length of the subarray to be analyzed. Thus, if the entire array is already in order, we can discontinue the search right away, converting the worst case into the best. The change needed is in the outer loop, which now has one more test:

for (i = 0, length = 1; i

What is the worst case now? Is the efficiency of the worst case still O(n2)?
