Introduction

Push Swap is a sorting algorithm that operates on a stack of integers. It aims to sort the stack in ascending order using a limited set of operations.

This repository provides an implementation of the Push Swap algorithm in C.

Installation

To use the Push Swap algorithm, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/your-username/push-swap.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd push-swap
3. Compile the program: make
4. Run the program: ./push_swap <list of integers>

Usage

The Push Swap algorithm takes a list of integers as input and outputs a series of operations that sorts the integers in ascending order. The available operations are:

• sa: Swap the first two elements of the stack A.
• sb: Swap the first two elements of the stack B.
• ss: Swap the first two elements of both stack A and stack B.
• pa: Push the first element of stack B to stack A.
• pb: Push the first element of stack A to stack B.
• ra: Rotate the stack A (move the first element to the end).
• rb: Rotate the stack B (move the first element to the end).
• rr: Rotate both stack A and stack B.
• rra: Reverse rotate the stack A (move the last element to the beginning).
• rrb: Reverse rotate the stack B (move the last element to the beginning).
• rrr: Reverse rotate both stack A and stack B.
