Sorting Algorithms

AIM 🌻

  • 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

Helper Files 🙌

  • print_array.c: C function that prints an array of integers.
  • print_list.c: C function that prints a listint_t doubly-linked list.

Header Files 📁

  • sort.h: Header file containing definitions and prototypes for all types and functions written for the project.

Data Structure:

typedef struct listint_s
{
	const int n;
	struct listint_s *prev;
	struct listint_s *next;
} listint_t;

Function Prototypes:
