In this project we will learn about sorting alogrithms and big O notation.
- At least four different sorting algorithms
- What is the Big O notation, and how to evaluate the time complexity of an algorithm
- How to select the best sorting algorithm for a given input
- What is a stable sorting algorithm
For this project you are given the following print_array, and print_list functions:
- Our files print_array.c and print_list.c (containing the print_array and print_list functions) will be compiled with your functions
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
/**
* print_array - Prints an array of integers
*
* @array: The array to be printed
* @size: Number of elements in @array
*/
void print_array(const int *array, size_t size)
{
size_t i;
i = 0;
while (array && i < size)
{
if (i > 0)
printf(", ");
printf("%d", array[i]);
++i;
}
printf("\n");
}
#include <stdio.h>
#include "sort.h"
/**
* print_list - Prints a list of integers
*
* @list: The list to be printed
*/
void print_list(const listint_t *list)
{
int i;
i = 0;
while (list)
{
if (i > 0)
printf(", ");
printf("%d", list->n);
++i;
list = list->next;
}
printf("\n");
}
- Please use the following data structure for doubly linked list:
/**
* struct listint_s - Doubly linked list node
*
* @n: Integer stored in the node
* @prev: Pointer to the previous element of the list
* @next: Pointer to the next element of the list
*/
typedef struct listint_s
{
const int n;
struct listint_s *prev;
struct listint_s *next;
} listint_t;
Here is a quick tip to help you test your sorting algorithms with big sets of random integers: Random.org
