The big sort routine implements a way to sort huge amounts of data using C programming language. It sorts the data that do not fit into main memory by using a multi-phase sorting on files. It is a implementation from the book “Algorithms and data structures” by Niklaus Wirth. Additionally, this routine recognizes small amounts of data that do fit into memory and resorts to a in-place quicksort.

Inside this source code you shall find implementations of Sorting Arrays, Binary search implementation, heapsort, quicksort, minimize memory requirement, use of Fibonacci numbers, insertion sort algorithm
