Draft:IndexSort
Template:Draft article Template:Short description Template:Infobox Algorithm
index sort is an index based Sorting algorithm that sorts by taking value (if language have index 0 put value - 1) and puting as index, it breaks when have duplicate value, only works on integer values
Algorithm
basicly it works:
- take first value of array (called current) and go to array[current - 1] and switch places with other value same index as current, then continuing on first value do same repeatly
- if array[current - 1] is same as current - 1, it will go to 2nd value, and repeated until sorted
implementation/code
we will use python for this example
def Indexsort(arr):
current = 0
n = len(arr)
while current < n:
target = arr[current] - 1
if 0 <= target < n and arr[current] != arr[target]:
arr[current], arr[target] = arr[target], arr[current]
else:
current += 1
note
- current implementation likely crash if there repeated values
- needed gif image
- still under maintence, don't expect alot from it
