数据结构-归并排序

（1）基本思想：归并（Merge）排序法是将两个（或两个以上）有序表合并成一个新的有序表，即把待排序序列分为若干个子序列，每个子序列是有序的。然后再把有序子序列合并为整体有序序列。归并排序（MERGE-SORT）是建立在归并操作上的一种有效的排序算法,该算法是采用分治法（Divide and Conquer）的一个非常典型的应用。将已有序的子序列合并，得到完全有序的序列；即先使每个子序列有序，再使子序列段间有序。若将两个有序表合并成一个有序表，称为二路归并。

归并过程为：比较a[i]和a[j]的大小，若a[i]≤a[j]，则将第一个有序表中的元素a[i]复制到r[k]中，并令i和k分别加上1；否则将第二个有序表中的元素a[j]复制到r[k]中，并令j和k分别加上1，如此循环下去，直到其中一个有序表取完，然后再将另一个有序表中剩余的元素复制到r中从下标k到下标t的单元。归并排序的算法我们通常用递归实现，先把待排序区间[s,t]以中点二分，接着把左边子区间排序，再把右边子区间排序，最后把左区间和右区间用一次归并操作合并成有序的区间[s,t]。

（2）算法描述

归并操作的工作原理如下：

第一步：申请空间，使其大小为两个已经排序序列之和，该空间用来存放合并后的序列；

第二步：设定两个指针，最初位置分别为两个已经排序序列的起始位置；

第三步：比较两个指针所指向的元素，选择相对小的元素放入到合并空间，并移动指针到下一位置；

重复步骤3直到某一指针超出序列尾，将另一序列剩下的所有元素直接复制到合并序列尾。

（3）代码如下：

package structsmethod;

import java.util.Arrays;  

public class mergingSort { 
	/*
	 * 归并排序
	 */
	int a[]={49,38,65,97,76,13,27,49,78,34,12,64,5,4,62,99,98,54,56,17,18,23,34,15,35,25,53,51};  
	public  mergingSort(){  
	    sort(a,0,a.length-1);  
	    for(int i=0;i 
  
排序结果如下：
