The first laboratory exercise of the semester is to write a routine application in each of the scripting languages. Very similar to the example seen in class, write a program in each of the languages which will accomplish an insertion sort. Your program(s) should generate a collection of random numbers, write those numbers to disk, then read, sort and write the sorted collection back to disk. Your applications should use good programming practices, including appropriate modularity with functions (subroutines), parameter passing, etc.
The objectives of the exercise include learning language basics, loops, decisions, functions(classes), files.
