Different types of Sorting Techniques used in Data Structures

Sorting: Definition 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 }

Sorting  Sorting = ordering.  Sorted = ordered based on a particular way.  Generally, collections of data are presented in a sorted manner.  Examples of Sorting:  Words in a dictionary are sorted (and case distinctions are ignored).  Files in a directory are often listed in sorted order.  The index of a book is sorted (and case distinctions are ignored).

Sorting: Cont’d  Many banks provide statements that list checks in increasing order (by check number).  In a newspaper, the calendar of events in a schedule is generally sorted by date.  Musical compact disks in a record store are generally sorted by recording artist.  Why?  Imagine finding the phone number of your friend in your mobile phone, but the phone book is not sorted.

Review of Complexity 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.

Complexity (cont.) Complexity in general, measures the algorithms efficiency in internal factors such as the time needed to run an algorithm. External Factors (not related to complexity): Size of the input of the algorithm Speed of the Computer Quality of the Compiler

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

Bubble Sort: Idea  Idea: bubble in water.  Bubble in water moves upward. Why?  How?  When a bubble moves upward, the water from above will move downward to fill in the space left by the bubble.

Bubble Sort Example 9, 6, 2, 12, 11, 9, 3, 7 6, 9, 2, 12, 11, 9, 3, 7 6, 2, 9, 12, 11, 9, 3, 7 6, 2, 9, 12, 11, 9, 3, 7 6, 2, 9, 11, 12, 9, 3, 7 6, 2, 9, 11, 9, 12, 3, 7 6, 2, 9, 11, 9, 3, 12, 7 6, 2, 9, 11, 9, 3, 7, 12The 12 is greater than the 7 so they are exchanged.The 12 is greater than the 7 so they are exchanged. The 12 is greater than the 3 so they are exchanged.The 12 is greater than the 3 so they are exchanged. The twelve is greater than the 9 so they are exchangedThe twelve is greater than the 9 so they are exchanged The 12 is larger than the 11 so they are exchanged.The 12 is larger than the 11 so they are exchanged. In the third comparison, the 9 is not larger than the 12 so no exchange is made. We move on to compare the next pair without any change to the list. In the third comparison, the 9 is not larger than the 12 so no exchange is made. We move on to compare the next pair without any change to the list. Now the next pair of numbers are compared. Again the 9 is the larger and so this pair is also exchanged. Now the next pair of numbers are compared. Again the 9 is the larger and so this pair is also exchanged. Bubblesort compares the numbers in pairs from left to right exchanging when necessary. Here the first number is compared to the second and as it is larger they are exchanged. Bubblesort compares the numbers in pairs from left to right exchanging when necessary. Here the first number is compared to the second and as it is larger they are exchanged. The end of the list has been reached so this is the end of the first pass. The twelve at the end of the list must be largest number in the list and so is now in the correct position. We now start a new pass from left to right. The end of the list has been reached so this is the end of the first pass. The twelve at the end of the list must be largest number in the list and so is now in the correct position. We now start a new pass from left to right.

This pass therefore only requires 6 comparisons. Notice that this time we do not have to compare the last two numbers as we know the 12 is in position. This pass therefore only requires 6 comparisons. First Pass Second Pass

Selection Sort: Idea 1. We have two group of items:  sorted group, and  unsorted group 1. Initially, all items are in the unsorted group. The sorted group is empty.  We assume that items in the unsorted group unsorted.  We have to keep items in the sorted group sorted.

Selection Sort: Cont’d 1. Select the “best” (eg. smallest) item from the unsorted group, then put the “best” item at the end of the sorted group. 2. Repeat the process until the unsorted group becomes empty.

What is a “heap”?  Definitions of heap: 1. A large area of memory from which the programmer can allocate blocks as needed, and deallocate them (or allow them to be garbage collected) when no longer needed 2. A balanced, left-justified binary tree in which no node has a value greater than the value in its parent  Heapsort uses the second definition

Balanced binary trees  Recall:  The depth of a node is its distance from the root  The depth of a tree is the depth of the deepest node  A binary tree of depth n is balanced if all the nodes at depths 0 through n-2 have two children Balanced Balanced Not balanced n-2 n-1 n

Left-justified binary trees  A balanced binary tree is left- justified if:  all the leaves are at the same depth, or  all the leaves at depth n+1 are to the left of all the nodes at depth n Left-justified Not left-justified

The heap property  A node has the heap property if the value in the node is as large as or larger than the values in its children  All leaf nodes automatically have the heap property  A binary tree is a heap if all nodes in it have the heap property 12 8 3 Blue node has heap property 12 8 12 Blue node has heap property 12 8 14 Blue node does not have heap property

siftUp  Given a node that does not have the heap property, you can give it the heap property by exchanging its value with the value of the larger child  This is sometimes called sifting up  Notice that the child may have lost the heap property 14 8 12 Blue node has heap property 12 8 14 Blue node does not have heap property

Constructing a heap I  A tree consisting of a single node is automatically a heap  We construct a heap by adding nodes one at a time:  Add the node just to the right of the rightmost node in the deepest level  If the deepest level is full, start a new level  Examples: Add a new node here Add a new node here

Constructing a heap II  Each time we add a node, we may destroy the heap property of its parent node  To fix this, we sift up  But each time we sift up, the value of the topmost node in the sift may increase, and this may destroy the heap property of its parent node  We repeat the sifting up process, moving up in the tree, until either  We reach nodes whose values don’t need to be swapped (because the parent is still larger than both children), or  We reach the root

Other children are not affected  The node containing 8 is not affected because its parent gets larger, not smaller  The node containing 5 is not affected because its parent gets larger, not smaller  The node containing 8 is still not affected because, although its parent got smaller, its parent is still greater than it was originally 12 10 5 8 14 12 14 5 8 10 14 12 5 8 10

A sample heap  Here’s a sample binary tree after it has been heapified  Notice that heapified does not mean sorted  Heapifying does not change the shape of the binary tree; this binary tree is 19 1418 22 321 14 119 15 25 1722

Removing the root  Notice that the largest number is now in the root  Suppose we discard the root:  How can we fix the binary tree so it is once again balanced and left-justified?  Solution: remove the rightmost leaf at the deepest level and use it for the new root 19 1418 22 321 14 119 15 1722 11

The reHeap method I  Our tree is balanced and left-justified, but no longer a heap  However, only the root lacks the heap property  We can siftUp() the root  After doing this, one and only one of its children may have lost the heap property 19 1418 22 321 14 9 15 1722 11

The reHeap method II  Now the left child of the root (still the number 11) lacks the heap property  We can siftUp() this node  After doing this, one and only one of its children may have lost the heap property 19 1418 22 321 14 9 15 1711 22

The reHeap method III  Now the right child of the left child of the root (still the number 11) lacks the heap property:  We can siftUp() this node  After doing this, one and only one of its children may have lost the heap property —but it doesn’t, because it’s a leaf 19 1418 11 321 14 9 15 1722 22

The reHeap method IV  Our tree is once again a heap, because every node in it has the heap property  Once again, the largest (or a largest) value is in the root  We can repeat this process until the tree becomes empty 19 1418 21 311 14 9 15 1722 22

Sorting  What do heaps have to do with sorting an array?  Here’s the neat part:  Because the binary tree is balanced and left justified, it can be represented as an array  All our operations on binary trees can be represented as operations on arrays  To sort: heapify the array; while the array isn’t empty { remove and replace the root;

Mapping into an array  Notice:  The left child of index i is at index 2*i+1  The right child of index i is at index 2*i+2  Example: the children of node 3 (19) are 7 19 1418 22 321 14 119 15 25 1722 25 22 17 19 22 14 15 18 14 21 3 9 11 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Removing and replacing the root  The “root” is the first element in the array  The “rightmost node at the deepest level” is the last element  Swap them...  ...And pretend that the last element in the array no longer exists—that is, the “last index” is 11 (9) 25 22 17 19 22 14 15 18 14 21 3 9 11 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 11 22 17 19 22 14 15 18 14 21 3 9 25 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Reheap and repeat  Reheap the root node (index 0, containing 11)...  ...And again, remove and replace the root node  Remember, though, that the “last” array 22 22 17 19 21 14 15 18 14 11 3 9 25 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 9 22 17 19 22 14 15 18 14 21 3 22 25 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 11 22 17 19 22 14 15 18 14 21 3 9 25 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Analysis I  Here’s how the algorithm starts: heapify the array;  Heapifying the array: we add each of n nodes  Each node has to be sifted up, possibly as far as the root  Since the binary tree is perfectly balanced, sifting up a single node takes O(log n) time  Since we do this n times, heapifying takes n*O(log n) time, that is, O(n log n) time

Analysis II  Here’s the rest of the algorithm: while the array isn’t empty { remove and replace the root; reheap the new root node; }  We do the while loop n times (actually, n-1 times), because we remove one of the n nodes each time  Removing and replacing the root takes O(1) time  Therefore, the total time is n times

Analysis III  To reheap the root node, we have to follow one path from the root to a leaf node (and we might stop before we reach a leaf)  The binary tree is perfectly balanced  Therefore, this path is O(log n) long  And we only do O(1) operations at each node  Therefore, reheaping takes O(log n) times

Analysis IV  Here’s the algorithm again: heapify the array; while the array isn’t empty { remove and replace the root; reheap the new root node; }  We have seen that heapifying takes O(n log n) time  The while loop takes O(n log n) time  The total time is therefore O(n log n) + O(n log n)

Shell Sort: Gap Values  Gap: the distance between items being sorted.  As we progress, the gap decreases. Shell Sort is also called Diminishing Gap Sort.  Shell proposed starting gap of N/2, halving at each step.  There are many ways of choosing the next gap.

O(N5/4 )? O(N7/6 )? Shell Sort: Analysis So we have 3 nested loops, but Shell Sort is still better than Insertion Sort! Why?

Generic Sort  So far we have methods to sort integers. What about Strings? Employees? Cookies?  A new method for each class? No!  In order to be sorted, objects should be comparable (less than, equal, greater than).  Solution:  use an interface that has a method to compare two objects.

Other kinds of sort  Heap sort. We will discuss this after tree.  Postman sort / Radix Sort.  etc.
