1. 前言
快速排序,很经典,无数的地方都提到。代码,虽然看起来不多,但是理解起来,并不是很容易。我花了很长时间,才弄明白。下面的代码,最关键的地方,就是理解 i 和 j 的增长的意义。
【关键核心理解】
j : 序号小到大,做数组轮询。
i : 始终停留在比pivot大的数字的前一个坐标上。这个坐标之前的数字都小于pivot 或者 i=-1 。
2. 代码
/* C implementation QuickSort */
#include<stdio.h>
// A utility function to swap two elements
void swap(int* a, int* b)
{
int t = *a;
*a = *b;
*b = t;
}
/* This function takes last element as pivot, places
the pivot element at its correct position in sorted
array, and places all smaller (smaller than pivot)
to left of pivot and all greater elements to right
of pivot */
int partition (int arr[], int low, int high)
{
int pivot = arr[high]; // pivot
int i = (low - 1); // Index of smaller element
for (int j = low; j <= high- 1; j++)
{
// If current element is smaller than or
// equal to pivot
if (arr[j] <= pivot)
{
i++; // increment index of smaller element
swap(&arr[i], &arr[j]);
}
}
swap(&arr[i + 1], &arr[high]);
return (i + 1);
}
/* The main function that implements QuickSort
arr[] --> Array to be sorted,
low --> Starting index,
high --> Ending index */
void quickSort(int arr[], int low, int high)
{
if (low < high)
{
/* pi is partitioning index, arr[p] is now
at right place */
int pi = partition(arr, low, high);
// Separately sort elements before
// partition and after partition
quickSort(arr, low, pi - 1);
quickSort(arr, pi + 1, high);
}
}
/* Function to print an array */
void printArray(int arr[], int size)
{
int i;
for (i=0; i < size; i++)
printf("%d ", arr[i]);
printf("\n");
}
// Driver program to test above functions
int main()
{
int arr[] = {10, 7, 8, 9, 1, 5};
int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
quickSort(arr, 0, n-1);
printf("Sorted array: \n");
printArray(arr, n);
return 0;
}
