Есть файл, который может содержать 32768 целых, неповторяющихся чисел в диапазоне от 1 до 32768. Числа в файле расположены случайным образом. Написать программу, осуществляющую сортировку данного файла, результатом которой будет файл с отсортированными по возрастанию числами. Для осуществления сортировки разрешено использовать максимально 4Кб оперативной памяти.
