· Create a function that will generate a list of random numbers. Be sure the numbers are in random order. The function should accept a number that represents the size of the list and return the list.

· Modify the Selection sort, Bubble sort and Morge sort functions to perform benchmark analysis on each of these functions. You MUST use counting comparisons and counting swaps AND you MUST use time. These files are located in the li\kopploutbox\CS 222 01\Final Project folder. YOU MUST USE THESE SORTING FUNCTIONS FOR THIS PROJECT. If you use any other functions or write a different one, you will receive a 0 for the project.

· Run the benchmark analysis on each sorting function for list sizes of 100, 1000, and 10000. Print the size and the benchmark values (time and counts). Write a function that will store the sorted for the Selection list into a file. The numbers should be stored 15 per line separated with a space. The filename must be sorted Numbers.txt. Only execute this function for list size of 1,000.

· Write an essay discussing your results. (40 points) Be sure to explain your results completely and thoroughly. In your conclusion, determine which, if any, of the sorting techniques are better. You must use a word processor.
