 \section{Design}
 
 \subsection{How are the input file and output formatted?}
+Each line contains one and only one coordinate consisting of two values formatted as \texttt{$\langle$x$\rangle$\textbackslash t$\langle$y$\rangle$\textbackslash n},
+where x and y are non-negative integers in the range 0 to 32767. Although limitting, this range is a design desicion taken in order to avoid unnecessary complexity and
+keep focus on the main objective of the project, efficient sorting. Including negative numbers would for example require extra logic for parsing, comparision, converting back and forth to ASCII,
+and allocating memory. Both input and output follow this strict format.
