Question

To measure running time

Please I need helpe,...


1)  General Description

In this assignment you will use and test two array-based sorting algorithms selection sort and merge sort. You will need “System.nanoTime()” to measure running time.

 

2)  Specific Guidelines

1)  Create a new project that contains the following classes:

a)  XSort<T extends Comparable<T>>: includes selection sort and merge sort algorithms as methods.

b)  Driver: for testing

2)  XSort: two main methods should be implemented: selection sort and merge sort. Add any necessary private methods and states that are needed to help the two sort algorithms.

3)  The Driver class should provide a menu-based interaction with the user. Menu items should be at least:

a) Generate random array of BigDecimal/BigInteger datatype (at least 10000)

b)  Print ONLY first 10 elements of the array

c)  Selection sort the array

d)  Merge sort the array 

e) Print timing of the two algorithms

Thank you! A lot :)

    Sorting Threads Assignment Overview Write a multithreaded sorting program in Java which uses the merge sort algorithm. The basic steps of merge sort are: 1) divide a collection of items into two lists of equal size, 2) use merge sort to separately sort each of the two lists, and 3) combine the two sorted lists into one sorted list. Of course, if the collection of items is just asingle item then merge sort doesn’t need to perform the three steps,...

    Implement and compare sorting algorithms. The task is to sort a list of integers using 5 sorting algorithms: selection sort insertion sort merge sort heap sort quicksort Your program should include 5 separate sorting methods, though it is fine for them to call some common methods (like "swap") if needed. Each sorting method should also count the number of comparison operations and assignment operations on the array elements during the sorting process. In the main program, two types of array...

    Need help with program. I'm stuck Objectives: In this assignment, we will practice manipulating lists of data and arranging items in an ascending/descending order. you will also explore storing lists/arrays using different sorting algorithms including, the selection sort, bubble sort, and insertion sort algorithm. Comparison between the three algorithms are made based on the number of comparisons and item assignments (basic operations) each algorithms executes. Background: Ordering the elements of a list is a problem that occurs in many computer...
