As Segment 8.25 suggests, you can improve the efficiency of the Shell sort by adding 1 to space any time it is even.

a. By looking at several examples, convince yourself that consecutive increments do not have a common factor.

c. Revise the implementation of the Shell sort given in Segment 8.24 so that space is not even.
