Challenge 6 - Write Your Own Sort Tool

This challenge corresponds to the sixth part of the Coding Challenges series by John Crickett https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-sort.

Description

The SORT tool is written in sort.ts file and the sort.index.ts is the command line version of the tool to sort data present in a file. The rest of files correspond to the different types of algorithms used to sort the data.

Usage

You can use ts-node to run the tool as follows:

npx ts-node sort.index.ts filename [-u] [--algorithm]

The SORT tool supports the following options:

  • -u: Unique. Suppresses duplicate lines.

  • --algorithm: The algorithm to use to sort the data. The available algorithms are:

    • --merge-sort: Merge sort algorithm.

    • --quick-sort: Quick sort algorithm.

    • --heap-sort: Heap sort algorithm.

    • --random-sort: Random sort algorithm.

      If no algorithm is specified, the sorting is done using the inbuilt sort() method.

Run tests

To run the tests for the SORT tool, go to the root directory of this repository and run the following command:

npm test src/6/

All the tests are made for LINUX environment only. If you want to run the tests in Windows environment, you can use the Git Bash terminal or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
