Algorithms and Flowcharts

Algorithms In computer science and mathematics, an algorithm is a series of steps or instructions used to complete a calculation. Flowcharts are type of diagram that is typically used document algorithms. For example, Figure 1 shows an algorithm which sorts any three integers from smallest to largest.

Figure 1: Flow chart for sorting three integers from smallest to largest.

Challenge: Can develop and program a better algorithm to sort three unique random integers? You should demonstrate your solution on 1000 sets of numbers. Verify your result by comparing your solution to my solution. Report the average number of moves per set. Each comparison that you make counts as one move and each swap counts as one move. You could keep track of your moves with a counter.

Start Input three integers (x,x,x) Yes-,Swap(x,and%) No No ap (x and x No End
