I want to sort 500000 numbers in C I first though about putting them in an array but can't create a such huge array

Question

can you guy's give me some tips on how to do that please

Answer 1

Have you considered using a linked list?

That way you allocate the memory space dynamically, this will work for any size.

And it will probably save time getting the numbers in the right order, as you can just insert each number in the right place.

Answer 2

you can create an array of size and use a loop to add numbers otherwise it will take you weeks too add each individual number

Answer 3

the data are in a file i have to manipulate it with File
