Radix Sort

Radix Sort. Algorithm sort by the least significant digit first (counting sort) => Numbers with the same digit go to same bin reorder all the numbers: the numbers in bin 0 precede the numbers in bin 1, which precede the numbers in bin 2, and so on sort by the next least significant digit

  1. Radix Sort • Algorithm • sort by the least significant digit first (counting sort) => Numbers with the same digit go to same bin • reorder all the numbers: the numbers in bin 0 precede the numbers in bin 1, which precede the numbers in bin 2, and so on • sort by the next least significant digit • continue this process until the numbers have been sorted on all k digits

  2. Radix Sort • Every integer can be represented by at most k digits • d1d2…dkwheredi are digits in base r • d1: most significant digit • dk: least significant digit

  3. Radix Sort • Least-significant-digit-first Example: 275, 087, 426, 061, 509, 170, 677, 503

  4. Radix Sort • Clearly, if the most significant digit of a and b are different and a < b, then finally a comes before b • If the most significant digit of a and b are the same, and the second most significant digit of b is less than that of a, then b comes before a.

  6. Merging • A is a sorted list with r elements and B is a sorted list with s elements. The operation that combines the elements of A and B into single sorted list C with n = r + s elements is called Merging. Example A =12,30,40 B= 5,20,60 R=3 and S = 3 N=R+S = 6
