Thread: How to write algorithm to sort an array in ascending order and also measure the running time?

I am on the halfway to complete a project and I can't reach my final destination. Basically I have to complete the console application and in my codes there are lot of commented off lines what gives the instruction to complete it.

I have the following requirements for the project:

Sort the arrays which the names are starting with “sortMe…”, and measure the running time for sorting each of the arrays separately. Sort should be ascending.

Find the minimum in any chosen array (sorted or unsorted) and measure the running time.

Find number of occurrences of a specific number in any chosen array (sorted or unsorted) and measure the running time.

Print out the content of a chosen array.
