Write an algorithm to sort an array of integers

"Write an algorithm to sort an array of integers"
I was asked this at an interview and required to do it in 5 mins. I don't think you can use sort them by putting them in a collection, i think you need to write an algorithm from scartch. Any idea what the best way to do this would have been?

Depends what you mean by "best."
BubbleSort is probably the only one I could write off the top of my head in five minutes, but as sorting routines go for practical use, it sucks. If you know how to write MergeSort or QuickSort or dman near anything off off the top of your head, that would proabably be better.
No one sorting algorithm is "best" without any context, however.
If you don't know any sorting algorithms, use google or your data structures and algorithms textbook.

  • Sorting an array of integers into ascending order

    Today I decided to blow the cobwebs off my old laptop and see what I could remember from my Java days.
    As a task for myself to see what I could remember, I decided to try and write a program that does the following:
    - Declares an array of 4 integers
    - Sorts the array into ascending order, from lowest to highest.
    - Prints on screen the sorted array.
    After an hour or so I finally cracked it, and ended up with a working program. Here she is:
    public class Sorting_arrays_1
        public static void main()
           int [] array = {4,3,7,1};
           //A variable used to help with swopping values
           int temporary;
              //finds the smallest number out of elements 0, 1, 2, and 3 of the array, then moves it to position 0
              for (int count = 0; count<array.length;count++)
                int smallestNumber = array[0];
                if (array[count] < smallestNumber)
                    smallestNumber = array[count];
                    temporary = array[0];
                    array[0]=array[count];
                    array[count]=temporary;
             //finds the smallest number out of elements 1, 2, and 3 of the array, then moves it to position 1
             for (int count = 1; count<array.length;count++)
                int smallestNumber = array[1];
                if (array[count] < smallestNumber)
                    smallestNumber = array[count];
                    temporary = array[1];
                    array[1]=array[count];
                    array[count]=temporary;        
              //finds the smallest number out of elements 2 and 3 of the array, then moves it to position 2
              for (int count = 2; count<array.length;count++)
                int smallestNumber=array[2];
                if (array[count] < smallestNumber)
                    smallestNumber = array[count];
                    temporary = array[2];
                    array[2]=array[count];
                    array[count]=temporary;     
             //prints the array in ascending order
             for (int count=0; count<array.length;count++)
                 System.out.print(array[count] + " ");
    }Could this code be simplified though? Maybe with a for loop?
    I mean, it does the job, but it looks so clumbsy and inefficient... Imagine how much code I would need if I wanted to sort 1000 numbers..

    Use bubble sort if u want a quick fix
    public static void bubbleSort(int [] a)
    for(int i=0; i<a.length-1; i++)
         for(int j=0; j<a.length-1-i; j++)
              if(a[j]>a[j+1])
                   int temp = a[j];
                   a[j]=a[j+1];
                   a[j+1]=temp;
    Or use Merge sort if u want better run time... ie.(N log N)

  • The time complexity of "Sort 1D Array"

    Does anyone know the time complexity of "Sort 1D Array"? The document of this function does not say anything about that, so I write test VI to sort an array of 10000 integer elements. It seems that the excution time is less than 1 second, so I guess the complexity is O(n*logn). Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks.

    A few thoughts based on my recollection of that old coding challenge.  There are different kinds of algorithmic approaches you may consider.
    1. A simple approach to that challenge could involve a lot of search / lookup functions.  Each time you parse a word, you perform a search to see if it's in your list already.  If so, increment its count.  If not, add it to the list with count=1.
       This was far too slow for word counting large docs.  Too many slow-ish searches.  But pretty easy to implement and maybe good enough for smaller docs.
    2. I pursued an approach that used hashing instead of searches.  It *seemed* too slow, but some months after the challenge when I had another use for the core hash table functionality, I found a really dumb bug that I'd overlooked before.  Fixing it improved the speed by something like 100x.  (Missed one spot where I needed a shift register to enforce in-placeness).
       This is largely the same approach, merely trying to speed up the lookup/search function via a more complex technique (hash tables).  As I found out, the complexity makes it more bug-prone.  Still, once fixed, lookup speed is in the order of constant with no clear dependency on the number of elements in the hash table.  (Note: it *is* still dependent on the "fill ratio".  You want enough memory available to size your table for maybe ~25% usage or less.)
    3.  One idea I tried out was to maintain a separate list of the 10 or 25 most-common words, sorted by count.  (The main reason was that there could be a tie for 4th place at the end, and I wanted enough extra candidates around to get the correct tie-breaker result.)  Each time I parsed another word and incremented its count, I'd check to see whether its new count qualified it to belong in the special most-common list.  I still did a lot of lookup and sort stuff, but it was always on a very
    There are surely other kinds of data structures and algorithms available.  Do you have a specific app in mind for this?  Or just generally curious?  I ask because some of the things one might do to optimize for a specific app (or code challenge) wouldn't be so appropriate as a general-purpose routine.

  • Best algorithm to sort semi-sorted arrays?

    I am trying my hand at the hutter prize (http://prize.hutter1.net/)
    My current compression algorithm sorts an array of Comparable Objects every main cycle.
    -This array of objects can potentically increase by one object per cycle.
    -Each object's comparision value can change per cycle, however its order is mostly kept.
    This means that the over all order of the objects are similar between cycles.
    Is there an sorting algorithm which can take advantage of the semi-sorted state of the array?
    I was using the default Arrays.sort() however it does not seem to make much use of the semi-sorted input array and is too slow for my use.
    In order to speed up the sorting i have relaxed the need to be in strict order. I.e there can be some objects out of order.
    To this end I have developed a BucketSort which i thought should speed up the sorting however it seems to have the opposite effect!
    Is there any reason why this implementation is quite slow? (three times as slow as Array.sort() )
       private static int MAX_BUCKET=65535;
       private static Word[] buckets=new Word[MAX_BUCKET];
       public static void bucketSortReverse (Word[] a, int n)
            int i;
            int count=1;
            int index;
            Word curr;
            // fill up the buckets with the input words
            for (i=0;i<n;i++)
                 curr=a;
              index=(int) (curr.probablility*MAX_BUCKET);
              curr.next=buckets[index];
              buckets[index]=curr;
         // iterate over the buckets and construct the sorted words
         for (i=0;i<MAX_BUCKET;i++)
              curr=buckets[i];
              if (curr!=null)
                   while (curr!=null)
                        a[n-count++]=curr;
                        curr=curr.next;
                   buckets[i]=null;
    NOTE Currently my input Word array contains a maximum of 6000 words.
    Lowering the number of bins reduces the accuraccy of the sort and does not provide much increase in speed :(
    I have found some Open Source code which by default performs very similarly to Arrays.sort in terms of speed and have modified it to be non-strict in its ordering.
    This modified sorting algothim is approximately 15% faster but is still really not fast enough.
    By reducing the strict ordering of the sorting algorithm i have also reduced the level of compression. Ultimately i would like to have a fast sorting algothrim which takes into acount semi-sorted objects with out reducing strictness of the sort.
    Any ideas?

    Tree removal takes O(logn) and insertion takes O(logn). Compare this to an array where potentially a large number of elements need to be shifted O(n).
    Usually it takes hundreds of thousands of elements to notice a difference. So if your data is relatively small, then it may not be worth trying to optimize it.
    test of the parent may need to be performed to determine The balanced binary tree (TreeSet) that comes with the JDK doesn't allow access to the internal structure of the tree, so testing the parent isn't available. Even if it was, it would still take an O(logn) lookup to find the node and get its parent, so it wouldn't be a significant improvement.

  • Sort algorithm: how can I sort two arrays according to one

    I have two parallel arrays, similar to this:
    var array1 = [4, 3, 1, 5, 2];
    var array2 = ["four", "three", "one", "five", "two"];
    I want to sort the first array, and have the second array follow the same sort as the first. Any advice for a good algorithm would be appreciated.

    Technically, there was no correct answer because the problem could be solved in multiple ways,
    I don't think you're right about not marking the question as correct just because there are multiple ways of solving it.
    People search the forums for solutions and threads that are not marked as correct are somewhat relegated.
    It wouldn't hurt to make bduffy232's day or even mark your own solution as correct which is more the less the same as the one on the link from KuddRoww and more the less the way I would have done it but see the difference in the results in the table at the bottom of this post.
    I actually think that technically there can be multiple correct answers even though you can only  one can be marked.
    One other small point if you use the advance editor on the forum you can have you code formatted makes it much easier to read.
    Anyway here's my half pence worth on the scripting front.
    Your question was how to sort one array according to another, which I understand to mean that you want the originals arrays reordered
    Yours and bduffy232's scripts do that properly the others don't. Jongware's first script is easy to fix up this problem by adding to the end of his script.
    for (i = 0; i<Math.min(array1.length, array2.length); i++)
    array1[i] = array3[i][0];
    array2[i] = array3[i][1];
    alert(array1+"\r"+array2)
    Now in order of appearance
    Jongware said:
    .. I wonder why this does not work .. Perhaps my logic is flawed?
    Hi Jongware
    I tried your  (2nd) script twice and on both occurrences it crashed my ESTK
    From what I  understand (not said with much confidence) the flaw in your logic is you are passing your arrays values to be sorted array1[?] and array2[?+1] to the sort function as 'a' and 'b' but and then refer to the array array1[a].
    So let's examine a bit of the code
    var array1 = [4, 3, 1, 5, 2];
    array3.sort (function(a,b) {
    var swap, diff = array1[a] - array1[b];
    When run this is the equivalent of saying (for the first run of the sort loop)
    diff = array1[4] - array1[3]
    i.e.     diff = 2 - 5
    i.e.     diff = -3
    What you wanted to do was
    diff = a - b
            = 4 -3
    That's the way I see it.
    Hi Marc
    Change the first two lines of your first script to:
    var array1 = [40, 7, 1, 5, 2];
    var array2 = ["forty", "seven", "one", "five", "two"];
    Then run the script
    Now for my offering.
    The fancy script
    This script is not limited to a specific number of arrays.
    after creating the arrays one creates an array of the arrays, specifies the number of the array that one wants to sort by and calls the function.
    like this:
    sortArraysInSync([a1,a2,a3,a4,a5], 1);
    The arrays a1, a2, a3, ..... will get sorted according to the numeric or alphabetical order of the array specified in the 2nd parameter.
    One could easily (I think) change the sort function to first sort by array x and then by array y etc.

  • I need to sort an array of strings based on the number in each string.

    Basically, I have a directory of files that all have the same name but each with a different number on the end.
    example: image 1.jpg, image 2.jpg, etc.
    When I use the List Directory function that returns an array of strings containing the file names in the directory, they don't come out in a 1, 2, 3, order like they appear in the directory. It sorts them character by character so that they come out like: 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21, 22 etc.
    Is there a simple way of sorting this array of strings with the file names (as above) so that they are in numerical order?

    It's a while since this thread was started, but I am sure others will have use for this so here goes:
    The in-built array sort function sorts the strings the same way DOS and Windows do. Microsoft has fixed this in the Explorer that comes with XP, however the rest of the OS(s) still sorts the old way.
    The attached "AlphaLogical String Array Sort" VIs will sort strings arrays the same way as the new XP Explorer. There are three different implementations of the sorting, one based on the Insertion sort algorithm, a Quick Sort based on recursive calls (the most elegant way, but unfortunately LabVIEW has too much overhead when doing recursive calls so this is actually a very slow alternative) and finally the fastest; a stack based Quick Sort. There is also a test VI that will show you how the different implementations perform.
    I had not used recursive calls in LV much until I made the attached quick sort and was a bit disappointed by the fact that it is so slow, but it's a good learning example...The ability to do recursive calls this way was introduced in LV7 I believe...There is an example here on the zone that shows how you can calulate a factorial by using recursive calls, however - unlike for the quick sort (normally) - recursive calls are actually not the optimal solution for that calculation.

  • Sort an array

    how can i sort an array by name and also by size
    size is an int
    name a string
    whats the best way
    thankyou.

    Thats my main class code...
    as you can see i havent been able to work out the last few options on the menu
    which include size and name
    if anyone can get me started in the right direction id apreciate it very much thankyou!

  • Help sorting an array of objects needed please.

    I am trying to sort the array Students[] in descending order of Fees due. Using the code below I get a null pointer error at runtime. The array is not completely full, it has 20 cells, but the variable studentArrayCounter holds the number of used cells. The 'getFeesDue()' code returns an integer value.
    Any help is appreciated.
         // Sort Student Records Method
               public void sortStudentRecords()
                int loopCount = 0;
               for (loopCount = 1; loopCount < studentArrayCounter; loopCount ++)
              if(Students[loopCount].getFeesDue()>Students[loopCount-1].getFeesDue())
                   SortStudents[0]=Students[loopCount-1];
                   Students[loopCount-1]=Students[loopCount];
                   Students[loopCount]=SortStudents[0];
         }

    Also, unless the excersize is to write a sort algorigthm (which I kinda doubt) you should use Arrays.sort
    Arrays.sort(Students, new Comparator() {
      public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
        Student s1 = (Student) o1;
        Student s2 = (Student) o2;
        return s1.getFeesDue() - s2.getFeesDue();
    });

  • Sorting an array of numbers with loops

    Hi, i'm looking for a way to sort an array or numbers with loops.
    my array looks like this. int[] numbers = {5,2,7,9,1}
    i know how to use the "sort" method and i want to do it without the sort method, but i am not very clear on the logic behind it.
    by the end it should look like this, {1,2,5,7,9}
    i know 2 loops are used, can you please give me a logic to work with.
    i have started the loops but what to do inside???
    int temp;
    for (int i=0; i<numbers.length; i++){
    for (int j=1; j<numbers; j++){
    if (numbers<numbers[j])
    temp = numbers[i];
    Any suggestions i will be thankful for.
    thank you.

    no not really a homework question.. i want to improve my logic because it is very poor at the moment.. but i'm sure someone knows how to sort an array with loops only.Yes, we do know how to do it, I once wrote a heapsort in assembly code, as a real work project. But you rarely get a project like that the good ones were all done years ago.
    All the algorithms I suggested you look at use loops. the simplest and slowest is the bubble sort. This one runs by comparing values and swapping their locations, the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort has the algorithm.

  • Sorting an array of filenames by filetype?

    I have an array of filenames read from a directory list. I
    can parse the
    file type from each filename using a function. How would I
    then sort the
    array by their respective file type, so that all PDF files
    sort together in
    the array, for example? Or would it be easier to just loop
    through the
    array by filetype, printing each matching array value?

  • Sorting an array of objects and returning another variable

    Hi there,
    Bit stuck on this one I wonder if anyone can help..
    I have an object array into which I've pushed a number of objects with different variables :-
    myArray.push({myRef: 1, myValue: "W"});
    I can sort the array in numerical order using :-
    myArray.sortOn("myRef", Array.NUMERIC);
    but after sorting I would like to collapse the array using something along the lines of :-
    myArray.join("");
    to join the OTHER variable (myValue)...
    Is it possible to do this without pushing every instance of 'myValue' to another array and then joining that ?
    Many Thanks in advance
    Martin

    Hi kglad,
    I really appreciate you helping, but I have had to completely change my approach to this problem, therefore I will be marking the question as answered !!

    Hello Folks,
    I need to sort 1D array of clusters [Point (X & Y)] using the second element (Y) of the Point cluster. Can anyone guide!!!!
    Thanks.

    I see Darren is a bit faster than me.
    Here's my solution (LabVEWI 7.0), it is pretty similar.

    How to provide "myType" parameter to sort method ?
    Edited by: Mohsin on Oct 11, 2012 3:28 PM

    If you add myType to the array then you can sort on that, assuming you have different values for myType.
    According to PeopleBooks (8.51), API documentation;
    Sort(order)
    Note. This method works with arrays that have only one or two dimensions. You receive a runtime error if you try to use this method with an array that has more than two dimensions.

  • Sort Grid array and find the 4 corner dots.

    What I am trying to do is this:  I am using NI Visions find circles vi on a grid array or dots which gives me a 1D array of clusters.  In these clusters is the x,y coordinates of the grid dots that have been found.  I need to figure out which ones are the 4 corner dots and the 4 center dots along the edges.  The problem is the 1D array the find circle routine outputs is not in a logical order.  My grid could possibly change in size too.  Right now it is 14x12 but could be 13x12 or 14x13 or something like that. 
    I have found that if I send the 1D array of clusters though the sort 1D array it will sort it from top to bottom left to right, which I will then know that teh 1st element is the top left corner and the last element is the bottom right corner, but I am not sure what the easiest way is to figure out the rest of them. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I am using labview 7.1 and NI Vision 8.0
    Thanks

    Hi Brad,
    If you want to get the coordinates of specific dots on the image, you
    can search for the dots using different ROIs that only focus on certain
    areas of the image (ex: use an ROI that only searches in the
    upper-right corner so that you know the 1 match that shows up is
    definitely there).  Without knowing how consistent the dot
    locations are, I would suggest dividing up the ROI dimensions based on
    the variable size of the grid.
    Hope this helps,
