Description

Push Swap is a sorting algorithm project in C. It involves sorting a stack of integers using a limited set of operations. The goal is to arrange the numbers in ascending order using two stacks and a set of rules for manipulating the elements.

Features

The Push Swap project offers the following features:

• Sorting Algorithms: Implements efficient sorting algorithms to order a stack of integers in ascending order.

• Instruction Management: Provides a variety of stack manipulation instructions such as "push", "swap", "rotate", and "reverse rotate" to sort the stack according to specified rules.

• Sorting Verification: Verifies if the stack is correctly sorted after executing sorting operations to ensure the accuracy of the algorithm.

• Performance Optimization: Searches for the most efficient instruction sequences to minimize the total number of operations required to sort the stack.

• Easy Customization: Offers the ability to customize and extend functionalities by adding new sorting algorithms or modifying stack manipulation instructions.

• Norminette Compatibility: Adheres to coding and style standards defined by the norminette to ensure code consistency and readability.
