Sorting a 4.6 GB File with 500 Million Integers: Internal, Bitmap, and External Sorting Techniques

The article explains how to sort a massive 4.6 GB file containing 500 million random integers by first attempting in‑memory quicksort and merge sort, then using a bitmap approach, and finally applying an external sort that splits the data into manageable chunks and merges them efficiently.
