COMP2521 Sort Detective Lab Report

by Name (zID), Name (zID)

In this lab, the aim is to measure the performance of two sorting programs, without access to the code, and determine which sorting algorithm each program uses.

If you worked in a pair: We used Name's (zID) sorting programs.

Experimental Design

These are the possible sorting algorithms and their characteristics...

Describe the method you will use to distinguish each algorithm

Results and Analysis

For each program, show the results you obtained and analyse them

For Program A, we observed that ...

These observations indicate that the algorithm underlying the program ... has the following characteristics ...

For Program B, we observed that ...

These observations indicate that the algorithm underlying the program ... has the following characteristics ...

Conclusions

On the basis of our experiments and our analysis above, we can conclude that

Appendix

Any large tables of data that you want to present ...
