The algorithm * guards against the worst-case by randomly shuffling the elements * before sorting. In addition, it uses Sedgewick's partitioning * method which stops on equal keys. This protects against cases * that make many textbook implementations, even randomized ones, * go quadratic (e.g., all keys are the same). * *************************************************************************/ public class QuickSort { private static long comparisons = 0; private static long exchanges = 0; /*********************************************************************** * Quicksort code from Sedgewick 7.1, 7.2. ***********************************************************************/ public static void quicksort(double[] a) { shuffle(a); // to guard against worst-case quicksort(a, 0, a.length - 1); } // quicksort a[left] to a[right] public static void quicksort(double[] a, int left, int right) { if (right <= left) return; int i = partition(a, left, right); quicksort(a, left, i-1); quicksort(a, i+1, right); } // partition a[left] to a[right], assumes left < right private static int partition(double[] a, int left, int right) { int i = left - 1; int j = right; while (true) { while (less(a[++i], a[right])) // find item on left to swap ; // a[right] acts as sentinel while (less(a[right], a[--j])) // find item on right to swap if (j == left) break; // don't go out-of-bounds if (i >= j) break; // check if pointers cross exch(a, i, j); // swap two elements into place } exch(a, i, right); // swap with partition element return i; } // is x < y ? private static boolean less(double x, double y) { comparisons++; return (x < y); } // exchange a[i] and a[j] private static void exch(double[] a, int i, int j) { exchanges++; double swap = a[i]; a[i] = a[j]; a[j] = swap; } // shuffle the array a[] private static void shuffle(double[] a) { int N = a.length; for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) { int r = i + (int) (Math.random() * (N-i)); // between i and N-1 exch(a, i, r); } } // test client public static void main(String[] args) { int N = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); // generate N random real numbers between 0 and 1 long start = System.currentTimeMillis(); double[] a = new double[N]; for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) a[i] = Math.random(); long stop = System.currentTimeMillis(); double elapsed = (stop - start) / 1000.0; System.out.println("Generating input: " + elapsed + " seconds"); // sort them start = System.currentTimeMillis(); quicksort(a); stop = System.currentTimeMillis(); elapsed = (stop - start) / 1000.0; System.out.println("Quicksort: " + elapsed + " seconds"); // print statistics System.out.println("Comparisons: " + comparisons); System.out.println("Exchanges: " + exchanges); } }
