[algogeeks] Sorting for large data

2012-01-14 Thread Abhishek Goswami
Hi, Could any point out me any algorithm and program if we need to sort to large data like 10 ^ 80 with memory constraint. Suppose you have minimum memory like 4 MB. I am not sure that this algo discussed or not but i was not able to find in this group. Thanks Abhishek -- You received this

if you have 4 mb ram and no external m/m then where is input is coming from??? On Sat, Jan 14, 2012 at 11:47 PM, Abhishek Goswami zeal.gosw...@gmail.comwrote: But in external sort you use external memory but in case if you have 4 MB RAM and do not have external memory device. than how will
