As stated in the chapter, many different factors affect therunning time of an algorithm. Your task is to conduct experimentsto see how sorting algorithms perform in differentenvironments.
You should select conduct two sets of experiments:
Conduct benchmarking of quicksort and merge sort several timeson the same system – once with as much software turned off apossible, and then with other programs running – Word, Excel,videos, etc. See if you can determine how different software orcombinations of software running at the same time slow down thesorting algorithms the most. You might want to include an Internetconnection in this test.
