Question

Demonstrate Big-O for the Oracle Java API Collections.sort().

Use the System clock (milliseconds) or equivalent way to count operations and assess the run-time complexity, O(N), O(N^2), O(1)??? for Collections.sort().

Create an Excel workbook of your results, and clearly indicate your answer for Big-O. Your chart should have a title, label axes, a line that proposes your answer, and appropriate scales from zero to whatever is large enough to encompass your data. Everyone will have different data, but we might all come to the same Big-O conclusion that Collections.sort is O???

Hints: Your Collection must be large enough so sorting takes at least ideally one or two seconds. Anything higher (like minutes to hours for sorting) will likely be timing the problem of virtual memory instead of Big-O algorithm processing.

Submit 2 files here: 1. your Testing.java program, and 2. your Excel workbook.
