In this problem you will be comparing the running time of merge sort, quick sort and Insertion sort algorithms.

a) Frist, develop three C++/C methods that implement the above three sorting algorithms described in the book. Your code should match with the exact algorithms described in the book. I have provided a supplementary document with three sorting algorithms that you need to implement here. We will use these three methods in part (d) below

b) Now write a C++ program that determines the running time based on asymptotic notation for above three sorting algorithms.

Sorting Algorithm	Running Time T(n)
Insertion Sort	n^2
Merge Sort	nlog(n)
Quick Sort	nlog(n)

Now run your program for n values given in the table and record the asymptotic notation based (theoretical) running time for all three soring algorithms

Size (n)	Insertion Sort	Merge Sort	Quick Sort
1000
10000
25000
50000
100000
150000
200000

c) Plot three graphs that represents the running time with respect to the size n based on table above for the three sorting algorithms repeatedly. (you can use excel to plot the graphs once you fill the table above based on your program from part (b))

d) In this part, we record the running time by actually running the three sorting algorithms implemented in part (a) above for arrays of following sizes. Initialize the array with randomly generated double values between 100 .00 - 1000.00

Array Size (n)	Insertion Sort	Merge Sort	Quick Sort
1000
10000
25000
50000
100000
150000
200000

e) Plot three graphs that represents the running time with respect to the size n based on table above for the three sorting algorithms repeatedly. (you can use excel to plot the graphs)

f) Compare the graphs in (c) and (e) above. Can you conclude that asymptotic running time is a good indicator of actual performance behavior of the algorithm after comparing the graphs in (c) and (e) above? Explain your answer.
