![Step 1: Implement the getSortedRunLength() method
Implement the getSortedRunLength() method in NaturalMergeSorter.java. Access
NaturalMergeSorter.java by clicking on the orange arrow next to NaturalMerge.java at the top of
the coding window.
getSortedRunLength() has three parameters:
array: a reference to an array of integers,
arrayLength: an integer for the array's length, and
startIndex: an integer for the run's starting index.
The method returns the number of array elements sorted in ascending order, starting at startIndex
and ending either at the end of the sorted run, or the end of the array, whichever comes first. The
method returns 0 if startIndex is out of bounds.
File NaturalMerge.java has several test cases for getSortedRunLength() that can be run by
clicking the "Run program" button. One test case also exists for naturalMergeSort(), but that can
be ignored until step two is completed.
The program's output does not affect grading.
Submit for grading to ensure that the getSortedRunLength() unit tests pass before proceeding.
Step 2: Implement the naturalMergeSort() method
Implement the naturalMergeSort() method in NaturalMergeSorter.java. naturalMergeSort() must:
Start at index i=0
Get the length of the first sorted run, starting at i
Return if the first run's length equals the array length
If the first run ends at the array's end, reassign i=0 and repeat step 2
Get the length of the second sorted run, starting immediately after the first
Merge the two runs with the provided merge() method
Reassign i with the first index after the second run, or 0 if the second run ends at the array's end
Go to step 2
