jdk1.7DualPivotQuicksort

java中Arrays.sort()源码实现(包含双轴快速排序)
算法步骤
1.对于很小的数组(长度小于27),会使用插入排序。
2.选择两个点P1,P2作为轴心,比如我们可以使用第一个元素和最后一个元素。
3.P1必须比P2要小,否则将这两个元素交换,现在将整个数组分为四部分:
(1)第一部分:比P1小的元素。
(2)第二部分:比P1大但是比P2小的元素。
(3)第三部分:比P2大的元素。
(4)第四部分:尚未比较的部分。
在开始比较前,除了轴点,其余元素几乎都在第四部分,直到比较完之后第四部分没有元素。
4.从第四部分选出一个元素a[K],与两个轴心比较,然后放到第一二三部分中的一个。
5.移动L,K,G指向。
6.重复 4 5 步,直到第四部分没有元素。
7.将P1与第一部分的最后一个元素交换。将P2与第三部分的第一个元素交换。
8.递归的将第一二三部分排序。

/**
* 这个类实现了数组双边界快速排序,在许多数据集上提供O(n log(n))性能

* This class implements the Dual-Pivot Quicksort algorithm by
* Vladimir Yaroslavskiy, Jon Bentley, and Josh Bloch. The algorithm
* offers O(n log(n)) performance on many data sets that cause other
* quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance, and is typically
* faster than traditional (one-pivot) Quicksort implementations.
