Assignment 1: Guide – SWE 619 – ALL – Spring 2010

Goal: Basic familiarity with Java.

Basic Assignment

Our first assignment will be to implement an Insertion Sort:

Define a Java class call insertionSort that satisfies the following specification:

Requires: a sequence of n numbers (a₁, a₂, … , a_n)

Effects: return a permutation (reordering) (a’₁, a’₂, … , a’_n)

Consider the following algorithm for Insertion Sort:

for j <- to length[A]

do key <- A[j]

//Insert A[j] into the sorted sequence A[1 .. j - 1]

i <- j - 1

while I > 0 and A[i] > key

do A[i + 1] <- A[i]

i <- i – 1

A[i + 1] <- key

Utilize a java Applet to input your sequence.

Submit the following:

1) Java source file.

2) Output file – including the following input cases: empty sequence; one element sequence; ordered sequence, and several unordered sequences.
