UVa 11462 - Age Sort

Summary
We have $$n$$ numbers (from 1 to 100) that represent certain ages, now we need to sort this ages, but in the problem statement say that the size of the input it's ~25Mb, pretty big!. This problem is solvable with O($$nlogn$$) sorting algorithm provided in the library (qsort from stdlib.h or sort from algorithm). Solutions implementing O(n) counting sort algorithm (explained below) and using scanf/printf for input/output clock at 0.400 to 0.600s. Better run time can be achieved by optimizing input and output routine with fread/fwrite.

Explanation
Instead of normally put the ages in a vector of size $$n$$, and apply a sort algorithm, one can store the times that appear a number in a vector of size 101 and print the solution based in how many times appeared the numbers from 1 to 100. For the second test case, we have: [1] = 1 [2] = 2 [3] = 2 [4] = 0 [5] = 0 . . . [100]=0
