Hi guys,
i am really sorry for making offtopic, hope you will not kill me, but
this is for me life important problem which needs to be solved within
next 12 hours..
I have to create stable algorithm for sorting n numbers from interval
[1,n^2] with time complexity O(n) .
Can someone please give me a hint. Would be very very thankful!
Unless I grossly miss out on something in computer science 101, the
lower bound for sorting is O(n * log_2 n). Which makes your task
impossible, unless there is something to be assumed about the
distribution of numbers in your sequence.
Who has given you that assignment - a professor? Or some friend who's
playing tricks on you?
