Question: If we have n records with integer keys in the range [0,n),then they can be sorted in O(nlogn) time using Heap Sort or Merge Sort.
If we have n records with integer keys in the range [0,n),then they can be sorted in O(nlogn) time using Heap Sort or Merge Sort. Radix Sort on a single key (i.e., d= 1 and r= n2) takes O(na) time. Show how to interpret the keys as two subkeys so that Radix Sort will take only O(n) time to sort n records. (Hint: Each key, Ki, may be written as Ki = Kil*n + Kx2 with K;' and K2 integers in the range [0,n).)
