  1. By Saad Malik Introduction to Sorting

  2. Sorting: an operation that segregates items into groups according to specified criterion. A = { 3 1 6 2 1 3 4 5 9 0 } A = { 0 1 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 9 } What is Sorting?

  3. Consider: Sorting Books in Library (Dewey system) Sorting Individuals by Height (Feet and Inches) Sorting Movies in Blockbuster (Alphabetical) Sorting Numbers (Sequential) Why Sort and Examples

  4. There are many, many different types of sorting algorithms, but the primary ones are: Types of Sorting Algorithms • Bubble Sort • Selection Sort • Insertion Sort • Merge Sort • Shell Sort • Heap Sort • Quick Sort • Radix Sort • Swap Sort

  5. Most of the primary sorting algorithms run on different space and time complexity. Time Complexity is defined to be the time the computer takes to run a program (or algorithm in our case). Space complexity is defined to be the amount of memory the computer needs to run a program. Review of Complexity

  6. O(n), Ω(n), & Θ(n) • An algorithm or function T(n) is O(f(n)) whenever T(n)'s rate of growth is less than or equal to f(n)'s rate. • An algorithm or function T(n) is Ω(f(n)) whenever T(n)'s rate of growth is greater than or equal to f(n)'s rate. • An algorithm or function T(n) is Θ(f(n)) if and only if the rate of growth of T(n) is equal to f(n).

  7. Time complexity Example constant O(1) Adding to the front of a linked list N log O(log ) Finding an entry in a sorted array N linear O( ) Finding an entry in an unsorted array N N n-log-n O( log ) Sorting n items by ‘divide-and-conquer’ 2 N quadratic O( ) Shortest path between two nodes in a graph 3 N cubic O( ) Simultaneous linear equations 1 1 5 5 8 8 (Binary) Finding 8: (Linear) Finding 8: 9 9 21 21 22 22 50 50 Common Big-Oh’s Front Initial: 1 0 Final: 6 3 http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/faculty/lee/cs146/23FL3Complexity.ppt

  8. Big-Oh to Primary Sorts • Selection Sort = n² • Insertion Sort = n² • Merge Sort = n log(n) • Quick Sort = n log(n)

  9. Time Efficiency • How do we improve the time efficiency of a program? • The 90/10 Rule 90% of the execution time of a program is spent in executing 10% of the code • So, how do we locate the critical 10%? • software metrics tools • global counters to locate bottlenecks (loop executions, function calls)

  10. Time Efficiency Improvements Possibilities (some better than others!) • Move code out of loops that does not belong there (just good programming!) • Remove any unnecessary I/O operations (I/O operations are expensive time-wise) • Code so that the compiled code is more efficient Moral - Choose the most appropriate algorithm(s) BEFORE program implementation

  13. Selection Sorting Step: • 1. select the smallest element • among data[i]~ data[data.length-1]; • 2. swap it with data[i]; • 3. if not finishing, repeat 1&2 20 8 5 10 7 5 8 20 10 7 5 7 20 10 8 5 7 8 10 20 5 7 8 10 20 rio.ecs.umass.edu/ece242/slides/lect-sorting.ppt

  14. Insertion Sorting • Place ith item in proper position: • temp = data[i] • shift those elements data[j] which greater than temp to right by one position • place temp in its proper position rio.ecs.umass.edu/ece242/slides/lect-sorting.ppt

  15. Insert Action: i=1 temp 8 20 8 5 10 7 i = 1, first iteration 8 20 20 5 10 7 --- 8 20 5 10 7 rio.ecs.umass.edu/ece242/slides/lect-sorting.ppt

  16. Insert Action: i=2 temp 5 8 20 5 10 7 i = 2, second iteration 5 8 20 20 10 7 5 8 8 20 10 7 --- 5 8 20 10 7 rio.ecs.umass.edu/ece242/slides/lect-sorting.ppt
