LAB10-QUICK SORT
LAB10-QUICK SORT
compute its
time complexity. Run the program for varied values of n> 5000 and record the time taken to sort. Plot a graph of the time
taken versus n. The elements can be read from a file or can be generated using the random number generator. .
Aim:
To sort a given set of n integer elements using Quick sort and plot the graph between time and different number of Values
(n > 5000).
Algorithm:
ALGORITHM Quicksort(A[l..r ] )
//Sorts a sub array by quicksort
//Input: Sub array of array A[0..n - 1], defined by its left and right
// indices l and r
//Output: Subarray A[l..r ] sorted in non-decreasing order
if l<r
s ←Partition(A[l..r ] ) //s is a split position
Quicksort(A[l..s - 1])
Quicksort(A[s + 1..r ] )
Program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
// Function to swap two elements
void swap(int* a, int* b)
{
int t = *a;
*a = *b;
*b = t;
}
// Partition function for Quick Sort
int partition(int arr[], int low, int high)
{
int pivot = arr[high]; // Pivot element
int i = (low - 1); // Index of smaller element
for (int j = low; j <= high - 1; j++)
{
if (arr[j] < pivot)
{
i++; // Increment index of smaller element
swap(&arr[i], &arr[j]);
}
}
swap(&arr[i + 1], &arr[high]);
return (i + 1);
}
// Quick Sort function
void quickSort(int arr[], int low, int high)
{
if (low < high)
{
int pi = partition(arr, low, high);
// Recursively sort elements before and after partition
quickSort(arr, low, pi - 1);
quickSort(arr, pi + 1, high);
}
}
// Function to generate random numbers
void generateRandomNumbers(int arr[], int n)
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
arr[i] = rand() % 100000; // Generate random numbers between 0 and 99999
}
}
int main()
{
int n;
printf("Enter number of elements: ");
scanf("%d", &n); // Read the number of elements from the user
if (n <= 5000)
{
printf("Please enter a value greater than 5000\n");
return 1; // Exit if the number of elements is not greater than 5000
}
// Allocate memory for the array
int *arr = (int *)malloc(n * sizeof(int));
if (arr == NULL)
{
printf("Memory allocation failed\n");
return 1; // Exit if memory allocation fails
}
// Generate random numbers and store them in the array
generateRandomNumbers(arr, n);
// Measure the time taken to sort the array
clock_t start = clock();
quickSort(arr, 0, n - 1);
clock_t end = clock();
// Calculate and print the time taken to sort the array
double time_taken = ((double)(end - start)) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
printf("Time taken to sort %d elements: %f seconds\n", n, time_taken);
// Free the allocated memory
free(arr);
return 0;
}
Input:
Enter number of elements: 10000
Enter number of elements: 20000
Enter number of elements: 30000
Enter number of elements: 40000
Enter number of elements: 50000
Output:
Time taken to sort 10000 elements: 0.001326 seconds
Time taken to sort 20000 elements: 0.003100 seconds
Time taken to sort 30000 elements: 0.004371 seconds
Time taken to sort 40000 elements: 0.006876 seconds
Time taken to sort 50000 elements: 0.008130 seconds
Conclusion:
Thus the program was executed sucessfully
