  1. CS 261 - Winter 2010 Tree Sort

  2. Useful Properties of Sorted Data Structures • Skip Lists (as well as AVL Trees, and various other data structures we will eventually see) have two useful properties • They have O(log n) insertion • They keep their elements in order Together, these combine for a particularly simple sorting algorithm

  3. YASA - Yet Another Sorting Algorithm How to sort an Array (lets call it A) Step 1. Copy elements from A into a sorted data structure Step 2. Copy elements from the data structure back into A

  4. Lets Analyze the Execution Time Assume there are N elements Step 1. Copy elements from A into a sorted data structure O( ?? ) Step 2. Copy elements from the data structure back into A O( ?? )

  5. We couldn’t we do this with arrays? • Why couldn’t we do tree sort with a sorted dynamic array? • Why not an ordinary dynamic array?

  6. That’s pretty good • The execution time O(n log n) is the best we have seen so far - pretty good. And it is simple • Anybody see a downside?
