An external sorting algorithm using a K-way merging approach to sort large data files.
Records are sets containing up to 15 integers. They are ordered by the maximum of contained integers.
An Indexed Sequential File is a data storage system offering quick access times and reducing disk operations.
Requires the following files: index.bin, data.bin, overflow.bin.
Commands implemented:
list;show <KEY>;insert <KEY> { <VALUES> };update <KEY> { <VALUES> };sort;status;
Values must be comma separated integers (trailing comma is a syntax error). Multiple commands can be entered at once.
