Summary of Sorting Algorithms

_Plan _Plan • General idea of sorting: we start

with an array of items in no particular order, and we want to convert it into a sorted array in either ascending or descending order.

Definition:Definition: Selection Sort (array Selection Sort (array of double numbers)of double numbers) Find the smallest element in the entire array A and swap it with the first element--now the first element

is in the correct position Find the smallest element in A minus the first element, and swap it with the second element--now the

first two elements are in the correct order. Find the smallest element in A disregarding the first two elements, and swap it with the third element.

Now the first three elements are in the correct order. Continue in this fashion.

• This algorithm is illustrated by the following figure:

– Figure: How Selection Sort works

• public static boolean search(double A[], double key)• { for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++)• if (A[i] == key)• return true;• return false;• }

• 22 is the smallest overall number and is swapped with the first number

• 27 is the smallest number starting at the second one, and swapped with itself

• 45 is the smallest number starting at the third, and swapped with the third

Definition:Definition: Bubble Sort Bubble Sort (Exchange Sort)(Exchange Sort)

Process the full array by comparing consecutive elements: if the (i+1)st element is less than the ith element, swap them with each other, otherwise leave them alone.

If no exchange is made, the array is sorted and we are done.

At the end of this pass the overall largest number will have "bubbled" to the last position of the array.

Repeat this "bubbling" procedure, but apply it to the current array except the last element.

Definition:Definition: Bubble Sort Bubble Sort (Exchange Sort)(Exchange Sort)

If no exchange was made, the array is sorted and we are done. At the end of this pass the second-largest number will have "bubbled" to the second-last position of the array.

Repeat this "bubbling" procedure, but apply it to the current array except the last two elements. If no exchange was made, the array is sorted and we are done.

Continue in this fashion until either no exchange was necessary during a particular pass, or there is nothing left to sort.

Definition: Insertion Definition: Insertion SortSort• Consider the second last element in the array.

If the last element is less than this one, move it up by one and insert the second-last element in the last position.

• Consider the third-last element in the array, and the last two elements of the array. Move all entries in that subarray that are less than the third-last element up by one, and insert the third-last element into the resulting empty slot.

• /*• Author(s): Felicia Escorpizo, Chunkai Szu, Rehan Malik• Date: June 13, 2000• Program: SelectBinary.java• Description: Get and sort array according to selection sort algorithm and perform binary search

• Pre-condition/Post-Condition: Get the values from the user to input into the array.• Print the original array and sorted array.• Print the value in the array to search for (if selectec).

• Design Roles: Initialize array and fill with values• Initialize a few counter int values•

• Design Idea:• 1. Get the array from the user and input into an array.• 2. Print the original array.• 3. Run selection sort algorithm• a. Select first value and compare against the rest of the values. (switch if need)• b. Select second value and compare against the rest of the values. (switch if need).• c. Continue until end of array.• 4. Array is now sorted.• 5. Ask user if he/she wants to search for a value.• 6. Perform binary search and print results.
