Set up

Follow the steps from the Scavenger Hunt to mount the COURSES drive. Make a folder RadixSortLab in your STUWORK/username folder and open it in VSCode for today’s labwork.

Note, this lab is very much a self-driven exploration, so ask questions and try things out!

Bin sort

Start out translating the reading’s binsort to Kotlin to get the hang of things. Remember to write some test code and make sure things are working!

Radix sort

Next try to implement Radix sort based on the reading in Kotlin. You could either start with the linked list version, or go right to translating the array-based Java version to Kotlin.

If you finish and are willing to have your implementation used with the Spring 2026 class, I would love for you to email it to me! (Maybe I’ll get around to translating it myself by then, but maybe not.)
