C Exercises: Sort numbers using partition sort method
21. Partition Sort Variants
Write a C program that sorts numbers using the partition sort method.
Partition-exchange sort is an efficient sorting algorithm. Developed by British computer scientist Tony Hoare in 1959 and published in 1961, it is still a commonly used algorithm for sorting. When implemented well, it can be about two or three times faster than its main competitors, merge sort and heapsort.
Sample Solution:
Sample C Code:
Sample Output:
Input number of elements you want to sort: 5 Input the numbers: 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Sorted Array: 10 15 20 25 30 -------------------------------- Process exited after 18.03 seconds with return value 0 Press any key to continue . . .
