Sorting Algorithms Speed Comparison

Description

This python script defines functions that enable the user to test and compare the 'Bubble' and 'Shuttle', 'Insertion', 'Merge' sorts on some randomly generated lists.

Optional / Required Modules

Apart from in-built modules, this code defines a function to plot a comparison of execution times for each algorithm. The necessary module for this to work is matplotlib. If you are on windows I recommend getting a distribution of python that comes with many packages pre-installed such as python(x,y) or WinPython. If you are on linux then I recommend using your package manager to install matplotlib (e.g. sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib).

Example Usage

from sorting import getnewlist, bubble, shuttle, insertion, merge, test, produceresults

randomlist = getnewlist(500) #Get a list of 500 random numbers

print("Bubble took: " + str(test(bubble, randomlist)) + " seconds.")
print("Shuttle took: " + str(test(shuttle, randomlist)) + "seconds.")
print("Insertion took: " + str(test(insertion, randomlist)) + "seconds.")
print("Merge took: " + str(test(merge, randomlist)) + "seconds.")

produceresults(1, 1000, 20) #Comparison graph between algorithms acting on list of size 1 to 1000, incrementing by 20
