Lab Assignment 1

1. Remember the sorting algorithms quick sort (Tony Hoare, 1959) and merge sort (John von Neumann, 1945).
2. Write each sorting algorithm in C and in Haskell by implementing the following functions:

void qsort2(int *a, int n); // quick sort array a with n elements in place in Cvoid msort(int *a, int n); // merge sort array a with n elements in place in C

qsort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] quick sort a list in Haskellmsort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] merge sort a list in Haskell

3. Write a brief comment for every line of your code explaining what it does.
4. In a separate text file write a few sentences explaining how and why the C and Haskell implementations of the same algorithms differ.
5. Write a simple main function (one in C and one in Haskell) to test your sort functions with the input sequence 4, 65, 2, -31, 0, 99, 2, 83, 287, 1 and print the result to the console.
