A free algorithm sorting software in Java xSortLab is a algorithm sorting software in Java. xSortLab has two operating modes: "Visual Sort" and "Timed Sort." There is a pop-up menu at the very top of the applet that can be used to select one of these modes. The pop-up menu also contains an entry for a "Log" which records statistics about sorts that have been performed by the applet. When the applet first starts up, it is in Visual Sort mode, and you will use this mode for the first part of the lab. In this mode, you can watch as the applet sorts sixteen bars into order of increasing height. Later in the lab, you'll be using the Timed Sort mode.xSortLab can perform five different sorting algorithms: Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, Insertion Sort, Merge Sort, and QuickSort. When fist starts up, xSortLab is set to use Bubble Sort. There is a pop-up menu near the upper right corner of the applet that you can use to select the sorting method that you want to work with. Below the pop-up menu are three buttons and a checkbox that can be used to control the applet. Click on the "Go" button to let the applet perform the sort automatically, without further intervention from you. Click on the "Step" button to perform just one step in the sort. The "Start Again" button lets you start a new sort, with a randomly arranged set of bars. (The applet will also start a new sort if you select a new sorting method from the pop-up menu.)All the sorting algorithms that you will look at use two basic operations: compare two items to see which is largest, and copy an item from one place to another. Sorting consists of these two operations performed over and over (plus some "bookkeeping," such as keeping track of which step in the sort the computer is currently performing). Sometimes, the program has to exchange, or swap, two items. It takes three copy operations to perform a swap: First, copy the first item to a special location called "Temp." Second, copy the second item into the first location. And third, copy the item from "Temp" into the first location. As the xSortLab applet performs a sort, it will tell you how may comparison and copy operations it has done so far. This information is displayed in the lower right section of the applet. Requirements: · Java 1.4 or later
