Improve the performance of the Java program by adding threads to the Sort.java file. Implement the threadedSort() method within the Sort class. (Reuse any of the existing methods by calling them as necessary from your threadedSort method. You may add additional methods to the Sort class, if necessary.)
Document your analysis as a short paper (1 page).
