Question

Make an a number of arrays of varying sizes populated by random numbers. For each array you will need to measure is execution time.

To make your life easier, label your arrays by their size and iterate through them. My advice is to have the difference between each array size be a fixed interval. It will make your graphs look much nicer. Say 1 to n arrays where you skip i steps for every iteration.

Once you are done, plot 20 to 30 points on a graph and demonstrate that the algorithm you were testing satisfy it's given time complexity. If that does not work then do more steps and add them to your graph, otherwise you are doing something wrong.

Explanation / Answer

Ok. I assume you wanted this code in Java.

Lets say we take some arrays of sizes from 1 to 1000 with difference in size of 50. That way, we will get 20 arrays of sizes e.g. 1, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300... and so on upto 1000.

So, lets do it Java.

// import stopwatch to measure time

}

After the execution of this program, you will have 20 values for the time taken by the insertion sort on 20 arrays of different sizes. Plot them as desired.
