基础数据结构和算法二：Selection sort

 

One of the simplest sorting algorithms works as follows: First, find the smallest item in the array and exchange it with the first entry (itself if the first entry is already the smallest). Then, find the next smallest item and exchange it with the sec- ond entry. Continue in this way until the entire array is sorted. This method is called selection sort because it works by repeatedly selecting the smallest remaining item.

 

Time complexity: Selection sort uses ~N^2 / 2 compares and N exchanges to sort an array of length N.

public class Selection {

    // selection sort

        int N = a.length;

            int min = i;
            for (int j = i+1; j < N; j++) {
                if (less(a[j], a[min])) min = j;
            }
            exch(a, i, min);
            assert isSorted(a, 0, i);
        }
        assert isSorted(a);
    }

    // use a custom order and Comparator interface - see Section 3.5
    public static void sort(Object[] a, Comparator c) {
        int N = a.length;
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {

            for (int j = i+1; j < N; j++) {

            }
            exch(a, i, min);
            assert isSorted(a, c, 0, i);
        }
        assert isSorted(a, c);
