CS 250: Data Structures and Algorithms

This document provides instructions for Lab 7 of the CS 250: Data Structures and Algorithms class. The lab focuses on implementing and comparing three sorting algorithms: bubble sort, selection sort, and insertion sort. Students will code each algorithm in C++, run them on arrays of different sizes containing randomly generated numbers, and analyze the running times to evaluate the algorithms' average case complexities. They will also sort the arrays in both ascending and descending order and run the sorting algorithms on the pre-sorted inputs to analyze best and worst case complexities. The deliverable is a word document with the C++ code, answers to analysis questions, and following the specified formatting and naming conventions.

Lab 7: Sorting Algorithms 1
Introduction

In this lab, you will implement three sorting algorithms and compare them.

Objectives
Objective of this lab is to implement insertion sort and merge sort and compare the running times
for both sorting algorithms.

Tools/Software Requirement

Visual Studio C++

Description

Bubble Sort:
Insertion sort is a popular sorting algorithm, which is quite simple to implement. The pseudo code
is as follows:

Selection Sort:
Selection sort is a popular sorting algorithm, which is quite simple to implement. The pseudo code
is as follows:

Insertion Sort:

Insertion sort is a popular sorting algorithm, which is quite simple to implement. The pseudo code
is as follows:

Lab Tasks

Task 1:
Implement Bubble sort, Selection sort and Insertion sort algorithms in C++.

Task 2 (average case complexity):


The next step is to compare the two algorithms. Generate arrays of random numbers in the range
1 to 100 with sizes 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, and 1000000. Compare the running times of the
three algorithms on each array. How do they compare? Are the results what you expected, and
why? Answer the questions in at the end of the word file.

Task 3 (best and worst case complexity):


Now sort the arrays using stl::sort, once in ascending order and then in descending order. Given
both sorted arrays as inputs to all three algorithms and compute their running time. The running
time of which algorithm shows most variations based on the structure of the input and why?
Answer the questions in at the end of the word file.

Deliverables

Students are required to upload the lab on LMS before deadline.

Note: Use proper indentation and comments. Lack of comments and indentation will result in
deduction of marks. You will submit your working codes in word document (do NOT take
screenshot of code, just copy your code and paste it). The name of word document should follow
this format. i.e. YOUR_NAME_Lab#
