Quiz
Given:
SmallInteger[0..99]
SmallVector Array [0..999] of SmallInteger
Write a Subroutine to sort a SmallVector, in place
Sort(V)
You may use any language
Do not attempt to write a full program – just a small subroutine, please
First cut – nothing fancy; no bells and whistles
Analyze:
assume that your routine takes 1 unit of time to sort 1 item.
How long will it take on 10, 100, 1000, 10000 items?
