Answer / rashid akhtar

We cant sort a singly list list in O(n) that is sure.
We can sort an array in O(k+n) if k is order of n,otherwise
counting sort is also not of O(n).
So moral of story,nobody can sort a singly list in O(n)...

Answer / hakr

Using Radix sort its the best solution it takes O(n).

typedef struct node *ptr;
struct node{
int element;
ptr next;
};
typedef ptr LIST;
typedef ptr POSITION;
int main()
{
.
.
.
.

for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
p=A[i]->next;
while(A[i]->next!=NULL)
{
A[i]->next=p->next;
p->next=NULL;
digit=(p->element/pow(10,j))%10;
InsertLast(B[digit],p);//InsertLast is a function that
takes an int and position and then does as the name tells//
p=A[i]->next;
}
.
.
.
.
}

I need your help, i need a Turbo C code for this problem.. hope u'll help me guys.? Your program will have a 3x3 array. The user will input the sum of each row and each column. Then the user will input 3 values and store them anywhere, or any location or index, temporarily in the array. Your program will supply the remaining six (6) values and determine the exact location of each value in the array. Example: Input: Sum of row 1: 6 Sum of row 2: 15 Sum of row 3: 24 Sum of column 1: 12 Sum of column 2: 15 Sum of column 3: 18 Value 1: 3 Value 2: 5 Value 3: 6 Output: Sum of Row 1 2 3 6 4 5 6 15 7 8 9 24 Sum of Column 12 15 18 Note: Your program will not necessary sort the walues in the array Thanks..
