CodeGuy Standard Sorting Library (Because QB64 dot net happens)
« on: September 04, 2018, 09:45:56 pm »
This is the code to my library, which I've coded, tested, refactored, benchmarked and retested until ABSOLUTELY certain of its correctness. This includes my venerated HashListSort(), numeric sorting algorithm which SMOKES FlashSort by considerable (15-20)% or more margins. There is also a couple of selection algorithms (QuickSelect, FlashSelect) and some basic statistical stuff too. All the standards like Heap, Merge and Quick (recursive, iterative, Median of 3, Dual-pivot) and MANY others just too numerous to list without the aid of some text processing. All have been commented to aid in understanding and I have written a test harness that tests for varying N, ascending, descending and sequence checking for verification. Some algorithms like 1-0 sort, CountingSort and such are VERY limited in their range and mostly for demo purposes. Most can be adapted for things other than numbers. In the demo, I included their complexity class, so you can see how good sorts perform versus the really not-so-good and how the not-so-good can be EXTREMELY useful in SOME special cases. When appending to my library, only the QuickSort SUB is necessary. This code is self-contained and can be used as is with modifications for data type if necessary. TESTED, VERIFIED, WORKS.

  5. '* this, searching and probing become worse than the typical O(1.25) cited in many research papers and backed by personal experience.
  6. '* The second involves application of a VERY fast sorting method and either traversal or partial sort and binary search of the remainder.
  7. '* There is no algorithm that does this in less than O(N) time, although there are asymptotically close heuristics.
  8. '* my answer assumes no prior knowledge of data type beyond numeric.
  9. '* first, we will start with the typical element by element search. VERY slow and complexity is O(N^2).
  10. '* yes, this is abysmally slow, so testing only with a small number of elements.
  11. '* this example includes my ENTIRE library of sorting algorithms, some slightly modified from standard.

Re: CodeGuy Standard Sorting Library (Because QB64 dot net happens)

Yes, this library has undergone probably 100+ revisions. I have included a generous selection of hybrids and split versions (like MergeInsert). Even some with nonstandard recursion because in some cases, the recursion splits weren't cutting it. Every effort has been made to assure correctness, with a sequence verification step, which is optional. As usual. the sorting range can be specified, except FlashSort, which I have yet to modify for such. All sortation is performed in memory, although this too can be adapted as you like using random access files.

Thank you!

As I have painfully learned, there's little recourse to losing access to a site and consequently the cool stuff other people have submitted. Yes, it's no fun. Even stuff like dropbox isn't safe. The only relatively safe way would be archival on solid media in triplicate and some offsite or on other sites. The danger with that last approach is someone will repost without confirmation of correctness. There are several versions of this code posted by others that is incomplete or not completely tested. I did find one error in my latest contribution, but it is minor and I will be submitting the CORRECTED code. ExchangeSort in the current post is incorrect ONLY in that < and > are supposed to be > and <. Beyond that, it's PERFECT. There are some algos STOLEN from Quora and ones I submitted as Most Viewed In Sorting Algorithms with one hit called "Will There Ever Be An O(n) Sort Algorithm?" I remain oblique about techniques for finding median in O(n) time, as well as anything about my faster-than-flashsort for large N (in the higher single and double-digit millions) numeric sorting algorithm. Sometimes the slow start (due to initial overhead) is WELL worth the wait. For smaller N, it keeps pace very nicely with FlashSort. For larger N, it stomps FlashSort by (15-20)%. And yes, you're very welcome, Terry.

I'll still stick with _MEMSORT.  It's the fastest way to sort Integers and Bytes, signed and unsigned -- by far -- and it's one routine you can use with multiple data types.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(1280, 720, 256)
  2.  
  3. DIM x(5) AS _BYTE
  4. DIM z(5) AS STRING * 5
  5.  
  6. 'Let's see if we can sort the integer array
  7. 'Initialize Data
  8. FOR i = 0 TO 5: x(i) = RND * 100: PRINT x(i),: NEXT: PRINT
  9. PRINT "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
  10.  
  11. 'Sort
  12. m = _MEM(x())
  13. Sort m
  14.  
  15. 'Result
  16. FOR i = 0 TO 5: PRINT x(i),: NEXT: PRINT
  17.  
  18. PRINT "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
  19.  
  20.  
  21. 'Try the same routine with a different data type array to sort
  22. 'Initialize Data
  23. FOR i = 0 TO 7: y(i) = RND * 100: PRINT y(i),: NEXT
  24. PRINT "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
  25.  
  26. 'Sort
  27. m = _MEM(y())
  28. Sort m
  29.  
  30. 'Result
  31. FOR i = 0 TO 7: PRINT y(i),: NEXT: PRINT
  32. PRINT "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

It used to be buggy in 64-bit versions of QB64, but that was a glitch with QB64 itself and packing type data across various OSes.  Since that's been fixed, it's been working as a charm for me.  :D

These are methods meant to be used and adapted easily to any architecture, from the classical sorting algorithms to the exotic. Yes, there are a few specialized algorithms that only deal with very small-range numbers, but these are limited in their use and excluded from testing beyond initial verification runs. The code for this library is not meant as a contest, but if you must, yours for double is orders of magnitude slower than MergeInsert at 8,388,608 elements (also verified for correctness). Yes, it's fast for _BYTE, INTEGER and such, but there are better algorithms for other data types past this. Compared against in-place algorithms, yours finished roughly on par with PrimeGapSort2(), invented a while back by me and improved in concert by Zom-B and me. Feel free to use any you like.

_MEMSORT is primarily a Combsort, which is fast enough in most instances for people.  Its main allure for me is the flexibility which it offers for simply plug-and-play usage.  One SUB included in your library, and it's good to go for multiple data types, without the need to have a dozen sort routines with different names to keep up with.  (SORT routines would *really* benefit from function overloading, if QB64 ever starts to support it.)

If you find various other sorts to always be faster (as you mentioned MergeInsert for DOUBLE), they can always be substituted for the Combsort which the routine currently uses.  When I designed the sort, it was designed for versatility and enough speed to handle the majority of tasks, but there's always room for improvement in anything.  ;)

For randomized datasets, this is roughly 12% faster than standard QuickSort choosing random pivots in the interval (start -> finish) inclusive. This algorithm is also faster than standard Median of Three strategy and because of randomized pivot selection, impervious to Median of Three killer sequences and equally immune to QuickSort Adversary for fixed-position pivot selection. Still no competition for FlashSort and HashListSort for numeric data, just like other Quick family sorts, but 12% improvement versus the second-fastest in the Quick family sorts, for an algorithm easily extended to string types, it's significantly better. Also MergeInsert() included in my library using EfficientMerge(), requiring n/2 versus N auxiliary is a significant improvement over standard MergeSort and is stable, as well as adaptable to other non-numeric data types, both important qualities in cases where this property and a more compact memory footprint is absolutely necessary. Enjoy. EDIT Just a final note about this algorithm. I have seen NO hybridization of this sort ANYWHERE. This code developed and verified through exhaustive testing on monotonic, ascending, descending and randomly generated arrays. Also, using my library ONLY the QuickSortIterativeMedianOf3Randomized() sub itself is necessary. All other methods are already contained in this library.

Another code snippet to add to my collection ... check.

I'm glad there are people on this site much smarter than me with these types of algorithms. I can barely bubble-sort ... you and Steve rock!
In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.
