StringSortpublic class StringSort extends Object | A quick sort demonstration algorithm
SortAlgorithm.java |
| Methods Summary |
|---|
| void | QuickSort(java.lang.String[] a, int lo0, int hi0)This is a generic version of C.A.R Hoare's Quick Sort
algorithm. This will handle arrays that are already
sorted, and arrays with duplicate keys.
If you think of a one dimensional array as going from
the lowest index on the left to the highest index on the right
then the parameters to this function are lowest index or
left and highest index or right. The first time you call
this function it will be with the parameters 0, a.length - 1.
int lo = lo0;
int hi = hi0;
String mid;
if ( hi0 > lo0)
{
/* Arbitrarily establishing partition element as the midpoint of
* the array.
*/
mid = a[ ( lo0 + hi0 ) / 2 ];
// loop through the array until indices cross
while( lo <= hi ) {
/* find the first element that is greater than or equal to
* the partition element starting from the left Index.
*/
while( ( lo < hi0 ) && ( a[lo].compareTo(mid) < 0 ) )
++lo;
/* find an element that is smaller than or equal to
* the partition element starting from the right Index.
*/
while( ( hi > lo0 ) && ( a[hi].compareTo(mid) > 0 ) )
--hi;
// if the indexes have not crossed, swap
if( lo <= hi )
{
String t = a[hi];
a[hi] = a[lo];
a[lo] = t;
++lo;
--hi;
}
}
/* If the right index has not reached the left side of array
* must now sort the left partition.
*/
if( lo0 < hi )
QuickSort( a, lo0, hi );
/* If the left index has not reached the right side of array
* must now sort the right partition.
*/
if( lo < hi0 )
QuickSort( a, lo, hi0 );
}
