1. You are required to compare the two sorting procedures in the average c​ase. Remember that for the a​verage case you have to repeat the measurements m times (m=5) and report their average; also for the a​verage case, make sure you always use the s​ame input sequence for the two methods – to make the comparison fair.
2. This is how the analysis should be performed:
   ­ vary the dimension of the input array (n​)​between [100…10000], with an increment of maximum 500 (we suggest 100).
   ­ for each dimension, generate the appropriate input sequence for the method; run the method, counting the operations (assignments and comparisons, may be counted together).

   ! Only the assignments and comparisons performed on the input structure and its corresponding auxiliary variables matter.

3. Generate a chart which compares the two methods under the total number of operations, in the a​verage case. If one of the curves cannot be visualized correctly because the other has a larger growth rate, place that curve on a separate chart as well. Name your chart and the curves on it appropriately.
4. Interpret the charts and write your observations in the header (block comments) section at the beginning of your main .cpp file.
5. Evaluate Quicksort in the b​est and w​orst cases also – total number of operations. Compare the performance of Quicksort in the three analysis cases. Interpret the results.
6. For QuickSelect (Randomized­Select) no explicit complexity analysis needs to be performed, only the correctness needs to be demonstrated on sample inputs.
