Push_swap

Because Swap_push isn’t as natural.

In this repo you will find all the codes developed during the push_swap project, both mandatory's part and bonus.



Mandatory

  • The Push_swap project is a very simple and highly effective algorithm project: data will need to be sorted.

  • We have at our disposal a set of int values, 2 stacks and a set of instructions to manipulate both stacks.

  • Our goal? Write a program in C called push_swap which calculates and displays on the standard output the smallest program using Push_swap instruction language that sorts the integer arguments received.

Push_swap instruction language:

Instruction Description
sa swap a - swap the first 2 elements at the top of stack a. Do nothing if there is only one or no elements).
sb swap b - swap the first 2 elements at the top of stack b. Do nothing if there is only one or no elements).
ss sa and sb at the same time.
pa push a - take the first element at the top of b and put it at the top of a. Do nothing if b is empty.
pb push b - take the first element at the top of a and put it at the top of b. Do nothing if a is empty.
ra rotate a - shift up all elements of stack a by 1. The first element becomes the last one.
rb rotate b - shift up all elements of stack b by 1. The first element becomes the last one.
rr ra and rb at the same time.
rra reverse rotate a - shift down all elements of stack a by 1. The last element becomes the first one.
rrb reverse rotate b - shift down all elements of stack b by 1. The last element becomes the first one.
rrr rra and rrb at the same time.

Bonus

  • Write a program named checker, which will get as an argument the stack a formatted as a list of integers.

  • The first argument should be at the top of the stack (be careful about the order). If no argument is given checker stops and displays nothing.

  • checker will then wait and read instructions on the standard input, each instruction will be followed by ’\n’. Once all the instructions have been read, checker will execute them on the stack received as an argument.

  • If after executing those instructions, stack a is actually sorted and b is empty, then checker must display "OK" followed by a ’\n’ on the standard output. In every other case, checker must display "KO" followed by a ’\n’ on the standard output.

  • In case of error, you must display Error followed by a ’\n’ on the standard error. Errors include for example: some arguments are not integers, some arguments are bigger than an integer, there are duplicates, an instruction don’t exist and/or is incorrectly formatted.
