$18\mathrm{.}7$SortDriverGeneric Class zybooks

You will write the SortDriverGeneric.java class which will implement the SortDriverInterfaceGeneric $.$The interface may be downloaded from here $.$

Please note that, in addition to implementing the SortDriverInterfaceGeneric, you are also required to write your own public static main$($String$[]$args$)$method in SortDriverGeneric.java that performs all of the required tests as specified below.

Method Detail

createArray

java.lang.Integer$[]($SortD$$iverInterfaceGen$$ic$.,$

int a$$aysize$)$

This method is used to create a new array of Integer objects of the type and size specified.

Parameters:

$$pe $-$This parameter specifies the type of array to create. See the enum SortDriverInterfaceGeneric. A$$ay$$ype$.$

arraysize $-$This parameter specifies the size of array to create.

Returns:

The method will return the ar$$ay of Integer objects that was created.

runSort

java.lang.Object$[]$runSort$($SortDriverInterfaceGeneric$.$SortType sortType,

sortDriverInterfaceGene$$ic$.,$

int a$$aysize$,$

int numberofTimes$)$

This method will run the sortType for numberofTimes.

This method repeats the following numberofTimes:

Obtain an array of type array$$ype

Make a copy of the array you obtained

Capture startTime

Call the appropriate sort

Capture endTime

Calculate testTime and add it to your TestTimes class

Make a copy of the sorted array

Parameters:

sortType $-$This parameter specifies the sort algorithm that will be used. See the enum SortDriverInterfaceseneric.SortType.

array$$ype $-$This parameter specifies the type of array to create each time the sort is run. See the enum SortDriverInterfaceGeneric. ArrayType.

arraysize $-$This parameter specifies the size of array to create each time the sort is run.

numberofTimes $-$This parameter specifies the number of times to run the specified sort.

Returns:

The method must return an a$$ay of object containing the following:

array$[0]-$must contain a copy of the unsorted array for first test.

array$[1]-$must contain a copy of the sorted array for first test.

array$[2]-$Must contain a copy of the unsorted array for second test.

$$ay$[3]-$must contain a copy of the sorted a$$ray for second test.

$...$

array$[$numberofTimes$*2-2]-$Must contain a copy of the unsorted array for the last test.

a$$ray$[$numberofTimes$*2-1]-$must contain a copy of the sorted array for the last test.

array$[$numberofTimes$*2]-$must contain the TestTimes class that was used to save the measured test times for the sorts performed. has to pass $1$:Unit tTest SortDriverGeneric.createArray$()$est
