0x1B. C - Sorting algorithms & Big O

Background Context

This project is meant to be done by groups of two students. Each group of two should pair program for at least the mandatory part.

Resources

Read or watch:

Learning Objectives

At the end of this project, you are expected to be able to explain to anyone, without the help of Google:

General

  • 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

Copyright - Plagiarism

  • You are tasked to come up with solutions for the tasks below yourself to meet with the above learning objectives.
  • You will not be able to meet the objectives of this or any following project by copying and pasting someone else’s work.
  • You are not allowed to publish any content of this project.
  • Any form of plagiarism is strictly forbidden and will result in removal from the program.

Requirements

General

  • Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs
  • All your files will be compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using gcc, using the options -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89
  • All your files should end with a new line
  • A README.md file, at the root of the folder of the project, is mandatory
  • Your code should use the Betty style. It will be checked using betty-style.pl and betty-doc.pl
  • You are not allowed to use global variables
  • No more than 5 functions per file
  • Unless specified otherwise, you are not allowed to use the standard library. Any use of functions like printf, puts, … is totally forbidden.
  • In the following examples, the main.c files are shown as examples. You can use them to test your functions, but you don’t have to push them to your repo (if you do we won’t take them into account). We will use our own main.c files at compilation. Our main.c files might be different from the one shown in the examples
  • The prototypes of all your functions should be included in your header file called sort.h
  • Don’t forget to push your header file
  • All your header files should be include guarded
  • A list/array does not need to be sorted if its size is less than 2.

GitHub

There should be one project repository per group. If you clone/fork/whatever a project repository with the same name before the second deadline, you risk a 0% score.

More Info

Data Structure and Functions

  • For this project you are given the following print_array, and print_list 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"); }

  • Our files print_array.c and print_list.c (containing the print_array and print_list functions) will be compiled with your functions during the correction.

  • Please declare the prototype of the functions print_array and print_list in your sort.h header file

  • 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;

Please, note this format is used for Quiz and Task questions.

  • O(1)
  • O(n)
  • O(n!)
  • n square -> O(n^2)
  • log(n) -> O(log(n))
  • n * log(n) -> O(nlog(n))
  • n + k -> O(n+k)

Please use the “short” notation (don’t use constants). Example: O(nk) or O(wn) should be written O(n). If an answer is required within a file, all your answers files must have a newline at the end.

Tests

Here is a quick tip to help you test your sorting algorithms with big sets of random integers: Random.org

Write a function that sorts an array of integers in ascending order using the Bubble sort algorithm

  • Prototype: void bubble_sort(int *array, size_t size);
  • You’re expected to print the array after each time you swap two elements (See example below)

Write in the file 0-O, the big O notations of the time complexity of the Bubble sort algorithm, with 1 notation per line:

  • in the best case

  • in the average case

  • in the worst case

4. Shell sort - Knuth Sequence

#advanced

Write a function that sorts an array of integers in ascending order using the Shell sort algorithm, using the Knuth sequence

  • Prototype: void shell_sort(int *array, size_t size);

    • n+1 = n * 3 + 1
    • 1, 4, 13, 40, 121, ...
  • You’re expected to print the array each time you decrease the interval (See example below).

No big O notations of the time complexity of the Shell sort (Knuth sequence) algorithm needed - as the complexity is dependent on the size of array and gap

#advanced

Write a function that sorts a deck of cards.

  • Prototype: void sort_deck(deck_node_t **deck);

  • You are allowed to use the C standard library function qsort

  • Please use the following data structures:

    typedef enum kind_e { SPADE = 0, HEART, CLUB, DIAMOND } kind_t;

    /**

    • struct card_s - Playing card
    • @value: Value of the card
    • From "Ace" to "King"
    • @kind: Kind of the card */ typedef struct card_s { const char *value; const kind_t kind; } card_t;

    /**

    • struct deck_node_s - Deck of card
    • @card: Pointer to the card of the node
    • @prev: Pointer to the previous node of the list
    • @next: Pointer to the next node of the list */ typedef struct deck_node_s { const card_t *card; struct deck_node_s *prev; struct deck_node_s *next; } deck_node_t;
  • You have to push you deck.h header file, containing the previous data structures definition

  • Each node of the doubly linked list contains a card that you cannot modify. You have to swap the nodes.

  • You can assume there is exactly 52 elements in the doubly linked list.

  • You are free to use the sorting algorithm of your choice

  • The deck must be ordered:

    • From Ace to King
    • From Spades to Diamonds
    • See example below

    alex@/tmp/sort$ cat 1000-main.c #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include "deck.h"

    void print_deck(const deck_node_t *deck) { size_t i; char kinds[4] = {'S', 'H', 'C', 'D'};

    i = 0;
    while (deck)
    {
        if (i)
            printf(", ");
        printf("{%s, %c}", deck->card->value, kinds[deck->card->kind]);
        if (i == 12)
            printf("\n");
        i = (i + 1) % 13;
        deck = deck->next;
    }
    

    }

    deck_node_t *init_deck(const card_t cards[52]) { deck_node_t *deck; deck_node_t *node; size_t i;

    i = 52;
    deck = NULL;
    while (i--)
    {
        node = malloc(sizeof(*node));
        if (!node)
            return (NULL);
        node->card = &cards[i];
        node->next = deck;
        node->prev = NULL;
        if (deck)
            deck->prev = node;
        deck = node;
    }
    return (deck);
    

    }

    int main(void) { card_t cards[52] = { {"Jack", CLUB}, {"4", HEART}, {"3", HEART}, {"3", DIAMOND}, {"Queen", HEART}, {"5", HEART}, {"5", SPADE}, {"10", HEART}, {"6", HEART}, {"5", DIAMOND}, {"6", SPADE}, {"9", HEART}, {"7", DIAMOND}, {"Jack", SPADE}, {"Ace", DIAMOND}, {"9", CLUB}, {"Jack", DIAMOND}, {"7", SPADE}, {"King", DIAMOND}, {"10", CLUB}, {"King", SPADE}, {"8", CLUB}, {"9", SPADE}, {"6", CLUB}, {"Ace", CLUB}, {"3", SPADE}, {"8", SPADE}, {"9", DIAMOND}, {"2", HEART}, {"4", DIAMOND}, {"6", DIAMOND}, {"3", CLUB}, {"Queen", CLUB}, {"10", SPADE}, {"8", DIAMOND}, {"8", HEART}, {"Ace", SPADE}, {"Jack", HEART}, {"2", CLUB}, {"4", SPADE}, {"2", SPADE}, {"2", DIAMOND}, {"King", CLUB}, {"Queen", SPADE}, {"Queen", DIAMOND}, {"7", CLUB}, {"7", HEART}, {"5", CLUB}, {"10", DIAMOND}, {"4", CLUB}, {"King", HEART}, {"Ace", HEART}, }; deck_node_t *deck;

    deck = init_deck(cards);
    print_deck(deck);
    printf("\n");
    sort_deck(&deck);
    printf("\n");
    print_deck(deck);
    return (0);
