trainee-cpp-sort is a program that has been developed from the beginning and should be an imitation of the standard sortcommand. It was only developed for learning and testing purposes, so I cannot guarantee that it will work perfectly witha real complicated program.

quick sort and merge sort algorithm have also been added to the program, so that with various sort options you have ampleopportunities to simplify your work.

To learn more about what they mean and what they are for, see the bunch of sort options below.

First of all we have to compile our code and this is done by doing the command as follows./build.sh. This will compile and build your code.If./build.sh doesn't work for you, you can trychmod +x build.sh and it should work now.And the compiled code is saved in thecpp-sort file asmachine code.

Now we can e.g. execute this command to sort the contents of thein.txt filenumeric-sort.content ofin.txt file:

496151031287

The output looks like this, if you run this command./cpp-sort -n in.txt OR./cpp-sort -n < in.txt.

346789101215

if you would like to sort with quick sort or merge sort you only have to change a little bit when executingthe commands as follows./cpp-sort -q -n in.txt OR./cpp-sort --quick-sort -n < in.txt

And we do the same with merge sort./cpp-sort -m -n in.txt OR./cpp-sort --merge-sort -n < in.txt.They all work like clockwork.

And if you want to store the sorted values ​​in a new file, you only have to do as follows..

./cpp-sort -n -o output.txt in.txt OR./cpp-sort -n --output output.txt < in.txtthen check theoutput.txt file.

I hope you have as much fun with it as I have when coding and would be very happy if you would develop the programfurther or if you could give me suggestions how I can do it even better.
