MyNova DSA - Module 3 Programming Assignment

This Java code implements a merge sort algorithm to sort an array of random integers. It uses a recursive merge sort method to divide the array in half and then merge the sorted halves back together. The main method generates a random array, times the sorting process, prints the sorted results, and outputs performance statistics.

Problem 1: Mystery sort

Code:
import java.util.Random;

public class MergeSort {


public static void mergeSort(int[] arr){
mergeSortRec(arr, 0, arr.length-1);
}

private static void mergeSortRec(int[] arr, int first, int last){


if(first < last){
int mid = (first + last) / 2;
mergeSortRec(arr, first, mid);
mergeSortRec(arr, mid+1, last);
merge(arr, first, mid, mid+1, last);
}
}

private static void merge(int[] arr, int leftFirst, int leftLast, int
rightFirst, int rightLast){
int[] aux = new int[arr.length]; // extra space, this is downside of this
algorithm
int index = leftFirst;
int saveFirst = leftFirst;
while(leftFirst <= leftLast && rightFirst <= rightLast){
if(arr[leftFirst] <= arr[rightFirst]){
aux[index++] = arr[leftFirst++];
}else{
aux[index++] = arr[rightFirst++];
}
}
while(leftFirst <= leftLast){
aux[index++] = arr[leftFirst++];
}
while(rightFirst <= rightLast){
aux[index++] = arr[rightFirst++];
}
for(index = saveFirst; index <= rightLast; index++){
arr[index] = aux[index];
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {


if (args.length != 3) {
System.out.println("Usage: java MergeSort <N> <A> <B>");
return;
}

int N = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
int A = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
int B = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);

if (N <= 0 || A >= B) {
System.out.println("Invalid input. N must be positive and A must be
less than B.");
return;
}

int[] arr = new int[N];


Random random = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
// random numbers between A and B
arr[i] = random.nextInt(B - A + 1) + A;
}

long startTime = System.nanoTime();

mergeSort(arr);

long endTime = System.nanoTime();

long sortingTime = endTime - startTime;

System.out.println("Sorted array:");
for (int num : arr) {
System.out.print(num + " ");
}
System.out.println();

System.out.println("Number of elements: " + N);


System.out.println("Sorting time: " + sortingTime + " nanoseconds");
}
}
- What kind of sort is this mystery sort?
This sort is a variation of the Bubble Sort algorithm.

- What is the average Big O for this sort?


The average Big O complexity for this sort is O(n^2), where n is the number of elements in the array.
