Data Structures (III Semester CSE & IT Lab Assignment for

Week 1 and Week 2 (ending on 08-08-2014)

We would concentrate on sorting algorithms namely Bubble,
Selection, Insertion, Merge, Quick, Bucket and Radix. We may
look for sorted output either by providing the unsorted input
sequence through command line or through user input or reading
an input file. The input sequence may be only numerals or only
alphabets of English or alphanumeric. We would be using time.h
for finding how much time each algorithm takes for same input
sequence (more than 50 distinct values).
You may also check which sorting algorithm is implemented on
your linux desktop for arranging directory items in different
ways.
You may enhance your work (self study and not the part of lab
syllabus) by employing Unicode standard (Unicode is a
computing industry standard for the consistent encoding,
representation and handling of text expressed in most of the
world's writing systems. Taken from wikipedia) to sort names
given in any international language other than English covered
in the lab.
