Introduction: For this assignment you have to write a c program that will utilize the merge sort and binary
search algorithm.
What should you submit?
Write all the code in a single .c file and upload the .c file.
Please include the following lines in the beginning of your code to declare that you are the author of the
code:
/* COP 3502C Final term Assignment 1
This program is written by: Your Full Name */
Compliance with Rules: UCF Golden rules apply towards this assignment and submission. Assignment
rules mentioned in syllabus, are also applied in this submission.

Problem
In this assignment, you have to read a text file (in.txt) that contains a set of point coordinates (x, y). The first
line of the file contains the number of points (N) and then each line of the file contains x and y values that
are separated by space. The value of x and y are integer. They can be both negative and positive numbers.
You have to sort those points in x-axis major order (it means it will be sorted based on x first, if multiple
point has same x, then it will sort based on y) and then write the output into another file (out.txt) in the same
format, i.e., each line contains one coordinate point x and y and they are space delimited. After writing the
sorted points in the file, your program should display the message “sorted and output written”. After that
your program should continuously prompt the user for an input coordinate point x and y values and your
program should perform binary search to determine whether the point exists in the given list of points. If it is
found, it should show “Found” and record number. The program will stop prompting for x and y, if the
search input x=-999 and y=-999
Example
Sample Input file in.txt:
7
100 2
99 -22
6 3
4 6
2 7
2 5
-5 2
Sample output file out.txt:
“Sorted and output written”
Search input (x y): 2 3
Output: Not found
Search input (x y): 4 6
Output: Found at record 4
Search input (x y): 2 7
Output: Found at record 3
Search input (x y): 2 5
Output: Found at record 2
Search input (x y): -999 -999
Output: exit
Requirement:
You must use file IO, Merge sort and binary search for your solution.
Your program must compile in Eustis.
Rubric:
1) Reading input file and storing data into appropriate types of variables: 1
2) Applying Merge sort properly and writing results into out.txt file: 7
3) Performing Binary search properly and output: failing each test case -2 points. Total 6
Please see the lecture slides and uploaded codes for learning merge
sort and binary search and File I/O.
Remember, we have done one lab on File I/O. We have used fscanf and fprintf while reading and writing to
file, respectively. For file I/O reference, see Week 2 module and Lab of Week 2.
