Shell Programming Mini Projects

Mini Project 2: Selection Sort

Aim:

Create a shell program for selection sort, taking input from a file generated by another shell program.

Algorithm (random_gen.sh):

1. Start the Program: Start the program "random_gen.sh".
2. Input Range: Read the values of $start and $end from the terminal.
3. Generate Random Values: Generate random values from $start to $end and save them in a file named "random_gen.txt".
4. End Program

Algorithm (main.sh):

1. Start the Program: Start the program "main.sh".
2. Read Data: Read values from the file "random_gen.txt" into the array $dataPline().
3. Sort Data: Use the selection sort algorithm implemented as a shell program to sort the array.
4. Save Result: Save the sorted result into the file "result.txt".
5. Display Result: Display the sorted result in the terminal.
6. End Program
