Push Swap project is an exploration of sorting algorithms, challenging developpers to sort data in two stacks with a limited set of instructions, aiming for the minimum number of operations.
- Two Stacks: Utilizes two stacks,
aandb, manipulating a set of non-duplicate integers. - Limited Instructions: Involves using predefined operations to swap, shift, and sort elements between the stacks.
- Optimization Goal: To sort the numbers in stack
ain ascending order with the fewest operations possible.
- Sorting Algorithms: Efficient algorithm selection and implementation for data sorting.
- Data Structures: Advanced stack manipulation.
- Code Optimization: Techniques to minimize algorithmic complexity and operations.
- C Programming: Applying C programming principles for performance and maintainability.
Successfully sorted 100 numbers with <700 operations and 500 numbers with <5500 operations, showcasing deep algorithmic optimization understanding.
This project underscores the significance of selecting appropriate algorithms and optimization strategies for efficient complex sorting problem resolution. It marks a significant step in mastering data structures and programming optimization techniques.
