The document provides a C program that implements a frame sorting technique using buffers, where frames are sorted based on their sequence numbers. It includes a Frame structure, a sorting function using bubble sort, and a main function to handle user input and display the frames before and after sorting. An example input and output illustrate the program's functionality.

9. Write a C program for frame sorting technique used in buffers.

Ans:
Below is a C program that demonstrates a simple frame sorting technique using
buffers. This program will read frames into a buffer, sort them based on their
sequence numbers, and then output the sorted frames.
C Program for Frame Sorting Technique in Buffers
c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef struct {
int sequence;
char data[100];
} Frame;

void sortFrames(Frame frames[], int n) {


Frame temp;
for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < n-i-1; j++) {
if (frames[j].sequence > frames[j+1].sequence) {
temp = frames[j];
frames[j] = frames[j+1];
frames[j+1] = temp;
}
}
}
}

int main() {
int n;
printf("Enter the number of frames: ");
scanf("%d", &n);

Frame *frames = (Frame *)malloc(n * sizeof(Frame));

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {


printf("Enter sequence number and data for frame %d: ", i + 1);
scanf("%d %s", &frames[i].sequence, frames[i].data);
}

printf("\nFrames before sorting:\n");


for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("Frame %d: Sequence: %d, Data: %s\n", i + 1, frames[i].sequence,
frames[i].data);
}

sortFrames(frames, n);

printf("\nFrames after sorting:\n");


for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("Frame %d: Sequence: %d, Data: %s\n", i + 1, frames[i].sequence,
frames[i].data);
}

free(frames);
return 0;
}
Explanation
1. Frame Structure:
o The Frame struct represents a data frame with a sequence number
and data content.
2. sortFrames Function:
o The sortFrames function sorts an array of frames based on their
sequence numbers using a simple bubble sort algorithm.
3. Main Function:
o The main function prompts the user to enter the number of
frames and their sequence numbers and data.
o It then prints the frames before and after sorting to demonstrate
the sorting technique.
Example
Input:
Enter the number of frames: 3
Enter sequence number and data for frame 1: 3 Hello
Enter sequence number and data for frame 2: 1 World
Enter sequence number and data for frame 3: 2 Test
Output:
Frames before sorting:
Frame 1: Sequence: 3, Data: Hello
Frame 2: Sequence: 1, Data: World
Frame 3: Sequence: 2, Data: Test

Frames after sorting:


Frame 1: Sequence: 1, Data: World
Frame 2: Sequence: 2, Data: Test
Frame 3: Sequence: 3, Data: Hello
This example demonstrates how the frames are read into the buffer, sorted by
their sequence numbers, and then output in the correct order.
