HW6: Sorting Code

• If your program is called MySort, its usage should be java MySort infile outfile, where:
  • infile contains the integer data to be sorted. You should assume that the first line of infile contains an integer that indicates how many data items are in the file. The data then appears one item per line with an end-of-line character between the last data item and the EOF character. For example, if the EOF character were visible a valid data file might look like this:

    4 
    2 
    9 
    1 
    3456
    EOF
    

  • The program writes the sorted integer data to outfile, one item per line.

  If the format of the data file is invalid or the program cannot open either the input or output file, it should terminate and print an appropriate message.

• If your program runs successfully it should print just two things:
  • The number of items sorted.
  • The time required for the sort in milliseconds. IMPORTANT: This time must not include any input or output.

Your program should be self-contained, that is, it should not rely on any other classes that are not in the standard Java library. E-mail your source code to me before class.
