Implement a C program that sorts a set of 4-byte float point values in ascending order using radix sort.

computer science

Description

Implement a C program that sorts a set of 4-byte float point values in ascending order using radix sort. The values are saved in a file. The program should read/write the file through memory mapping. When the program finishes, the sorted values should be saved in the same file.  Name your scripts using the pattern NJITID#.c, and name your screenshots using the pattern NJITID#_index.jpg. NJITID# is the eight-digit NJIT ID (Not your UCID, Rutgers students also have NJIT IDs). Index is the index number showing the order of the screenshots (e.g., 1 or 2)


Submission Instructions 

1. Submit: 1) your C program, and 2) one or two screenshots in jpg format showing that your program really works. 


Objectives 

• To gain more experience with using bitwise operations 

• To understand the binary format of float point numbers 

• To gain more understanding on radix-sort 

• To learn how to read/write files using memory mapping2.
