Project: RadixSort

Using the data structures presented in class, create as class that performs a RadixSort algorithm.

The class you make should be a subclass of the class SortRoutine and be added into the SortDriver sample application provided to you and demonstrated in class.  Your RadixSort class constructor will need to be supplied both a radix and an exponent.

As explained in class, RadixSort needs to know the base (radix) of the numbers it is sorting.  In addition, RadixSort needs to know the exponent (x) of the numbers it is sorting.  All of the values to be sorted need to be between 0 - rx-1.  The radix will control the number of buckets necessary to complete the sort.  The exponent will control the number of passes necessary to complete the sort.

For example, consider the following list of numbers to be sorted with a base of 10 and an exponent of 2: 1, 4, 7, 72, 85, 92, 3, 17, 8, 12

On the first pass, RadixSort will sort based on the one's digit.  As in:

0:

1: 1

2: 72, 92, 12

3: 3

4: 4

5: 85

6:

7: 7, 17

8: 8

9:

Pulling out of the buckets in the order from 0 to 9, the next pass will start with the list: 1, 72, 92, 12, 3, 4, 85, 7, 17, 8.

On the second pass, RadixSort will sort based on the ten's digit.  As in:

0: 1, 3, 4, 7, 8

1: 12, 17

2:

3:

4:

5:

6:

7: 72

8: 85

9: 92

Notice what happened! When you pull out the numbers now from the buckets in order from 0 to 9, you get the sorted answer!
