reomelo / 42porto-push_swap

A program that sorts a stack of integers in the least steps possible, based on a limited set of instructions

Description of the project:

Push_swap is a program that sorts a stack of integers with the minimum instructions possible and an auxiliary stack. Instructions are defined within the subject of the project; They're the only way allowed to manipulate the data in the stacks.

checker is a utility program that, taking the same arguments as push_swap and its outputted instructions, checks if the stack ends up sorted, thus verifying if push_swap is correctly sorting the stack.

Installing and running the project:

1- Clone this repository and enter it:

git clone https://github.com/reomelo/42Porto-push_swap.git && cd 42Porto-push_swap

2- Run make and execute with a list of integers (read subject):

make && ./push_swap <nbr> <nbr> <nbr> ...

Makefile Available Targets:

make or make all - compiles the project
make clean - wipes all object files
make fclean - deletes ./push_swap and all object files
make re - fclean + all
