Sorting and Searching Algorithms
Slides by Sylvia Sorkin, Community College of Baltimore County - Essex Campus
Sorting means . . .
l
The values stored in an array have
keys of a type for which the relational
operators are defined. (We also
assume unique keys.)
Sorting rearranges the elements into
either ascending or descending order
within the array. (Well use ascending
order.)

Divides the array into two
parts: already sorted, and
not yet sorted.
On each pass, finds the
smallest of the unsorted
elements, and swaps it into
its correct place, thereby
increasing the number of
sorted elements by one.

For selection sort in general
l
The number of comparisons when the
array contains N elements is
Sum = (N-1) + (N-2) + . . . + 2 + 1
13
Notice that . . .
Sum = (N-1) + (N-2) + . . . +

Compares neighboring
pairs of array elements,
starting with the last array
element, and swaps
neighbors whenever they
are not in correct order.
On each pass, this causes
the smallest element to
bubble up to its correct
place in the array.

// Post: Neighboring elements that were out of order have been

One by one, each as yet
unsorted array element is
inserted into its proper
place with respect to the
already sorted elements.
On each pass, this causes
the number of already
sorted elements to increase
by one.

Recall that . . .
A heap is a binary tree that satisfies these
special SHAPE and ORDER properties:
n
Its shape must be a complete binary tree.
For each node in the heap, the value
stored in that node is greater than or
equal to the value in each of its children.

in a heap is always found in the root node

Heap Sort Approach
First, make the unsorted array into a heap by
satisfying the order property. Then repeat the
steps below until there are no more unsorted
elements.
l
Take the root (maximum) element off the heap
by swapping it into its correct place in the
array at the end of the unsorted elements.
Reheap the remaining unsorted elements.
(This puts the next-largest element into the
root position).

Heap Sort:
How many comparisons?
In reheap down, an element
is compared with its 2
children (and swapped
with the larger). But
only one element at
each level makes
this comparison,
and a complete
binary tree with
30
N nodes has
3
only O(log2N)
levels.

For the four calls when N/4 elements in each
quarter of original array are compared to
their own split values.

HOW MANY SPLITS CAN OCCUR?
60
Quick Sort of N elements:
How many splits can occur?
It depends on the order of the original array elements!
If each split divides the subarray approximately in half,
there will be only log2N splits, and QuickSort is
O(N*log2N).
But, if the original array was sorted to begin with, the
recursive calls will split up the array into parts of
unequal length, with one part empty, and the
other part containing all the rest of the array except for
split value itself. In this case, there can be as many as
N-1 splits, and QuickSort is O(N2).

Merge Sort of N elements:
How many comparisons?
The entire array can be subdivided into halves
only log2N times.
Each time it is subdivided, function Merge is called
to re-combine the halves. Function Merge uses a
temporary array to store the merged elements.
Merging is O(N) because it compares each element
in the subarrays.
Copying elements back from the temporary array
to the values array is also O(N).
MERGE SORT IS O(N*log2N).
67
Function BinarySearch( )
l
BinarySearch takes sorted array info, and
two subscripts, fromLoc and toLoc, and
item as arguments. It returns false if item is
not found in the elements
info[fromLoctoLoc]. Otherwise, it
returns true.
BinarySearch is O(log2N).

Hashing
l
is a means used to order and access
elements in a list quickly -- the goal is
O(1) time -- by using a function of the
key value to identify its location in the
list.
The function of the key value is called a
hash function.

different parts. But the
parts all have four digit numbers.
This hash function can be used to
store and retrieve parts in an array.
Hash(key) = partNum % 100

One way is by linear probing.
This uses the rehash function
