Radix Sort

The document provides an implementation of the Radix Sort algorithm in C++, including functions for finding the maximum value, performing counting sort, and executing the radix sort itself. It also outlines the steps of the algorithm in a structured format and includes pseudocode for clarity. The main function allows user input for the number of elements and the elements themselves, followed by displaying the sorted array.

Algorithm for Radix Sort (with user input)

1. Start.

2. Take input for the number of elements in the array (n).

3. Create an array of size n and input n elements from the user.

4. Find the maximum number in the array to determine the number of digits.

5. Perform the following steps for each digit place (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.):

o Initialize a stable sorting mechanism (e.g., counting sort) for the current digit place.

o Sort the elements of the array based on the current digit using counting sort.

6. Repeat until all digit places are processed.

7. Print the sorted array.

8. End.

For i = 1 to n-1

If array[i] > max

EndFunction

Function countingSort(array, n, exp)

Declare output[n], count[10] initialized to 0
