Comparison of Heapsort, Mergesort, and Quicksort

Implement Heapsort, Mergesort, and QuickSorot

You must use the code in your textboook. Implement:

Algorithms 2.2 and 2.3: Mergesort
Algorithm 7.5: Heapsort
Algorithms 2.6 and 2.7: Quicksort

You are going to compare the number of basic operations and the number of assignment of records to perform the sort.

There are two parts to this assignment.

85 % The actual code.
15 % Provide comparison data and a thorough analysis of the data on the number of basic operations and number of assignments specific to perform the sort on the following actual runs:
- Random data of n=16, n=32, n=64, n=128, and n=256
- Data in ascending order of n=16, n=32, n=64, n=128, and n=256
- Data in descending order of n=16, n=32, n=64, n=128, and n=256

The code

Libraries

Include the following libraries:

#include iostream
#include cassert
#include fstream
#include string

You may not use the standard template library or any vector libraries. All code must be written by you.

heapsort, mergesort, and quicksort

As stated above, implement heapsort quicksort, and mergesort from your textbook.

Six Global Variables: It is easiest if you use six, and only six,global variables:

Count the number of basic operations in heapsort
Count the number of assignments of records in heapsort
Count the number of basic operations in mergesort
Count the number of assignments of records in mergesort
Count the number of basic operations in quicksort
Count the number of assignments of records in quicksort

Basic Operations and assignment of Records

In the analysis of each of the sorting routines provided by your text, the basic operation used for analysis is defined.

Heapsort: comparison of keys in softdown
Mergesort: comparison of U[i] and V[j] in merge
Quicksort: comparison of S[i] with pivotitem

Every time a record from the array is assigned as part of the sort, you must count the assignment. Look at this very carefully. For example, an exchange is three assignments.

The main program

Declare arrays for data to be heapsorted, mergesorted, and quicksorted. You can declare the arrays to be of size 600. If a file contains >512 records, truncate it.

Prompt the user for the name of a file. Open the file. Use assert to ensure the file opened
Read the contents of the file. You can assume it contains valid integer data You do not have to validate it. Store each data element into the array declared for heapsort, the array declared for mergesort, and the array declared for quicksort.
Print one of the arrays
Print the array sorted by heapsort, mergesort, and quicksort properly labeled.
Print n, the number of basic operations for each sort, and the number of assignments of records for each sort.
