One way computer speeds are measured is by the number of instructions they can perform per second. Assume that a comparison or a data move are each a single instruction. If the bubble sort is being used to sort 1,000,000 items in a worst case scenario, what is the approximate amount of time it takes to execute this sort on each of the following computers? Express your answer in days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
a. An early computer that could only execute one thousand instructions per second
b. A more recent computer diat can execute one billion instructions per second
