排序总结

面试经验

硅谷某前沿小Startup面试时,问到的一个题目就是写一个快速排序算法。进而面试官问到了各种算法的算法复杂度,进而又问了Merge Sort 与 QuickSort 的优劣。

对排序算法的全面理解,体现了计算机学生的功底。

现在来讲Merge Sort 与Quick Sort 是最流行的算法,以下我们来一步一步地分析:

SORT分类

在计算机科学所使用的排序算法通常被分類為:

  • 計算的時間複雜度(最差、平均、和最好表現),依據串列(list)的大小(n)。一般而言,好的表現是O(n logn),且壞的表現是O(n2)。對於一個排序理想的表現是O(n)。僅使用一個抽象關鍵比較運算的排序算法總平均上總是至少需要O(n logn)。
  • 記憶體使用量(以及其他電腦資源的使用)
  • 穩定性:穩定排序算法會讓原本有相等鍵值的紀錄維持相對次序。也就是如果一個排序算法是穩定的,當有兩個相等鍵值的紀錄R和S,且在原本的串列中R出現在S之前,在排序過的串列中R也將會是在S之前。
  • 依據排序的方法:插入、交換、選擇、合併等等。

穩定性

當相等的元素是無法分辨的,比如像是整數,穩定性並不是一個問題。然而,假設以下的數對將要以他們的第一個數字來排序。

(4, 1) (3, 1) (3, 7)(5, 6)

在這個狀況下,有可能產生兩種不同的結果,一個是讓相等鍵值的紀錄維持相對的次序,而另外一個則沒有:

(3, 1) (3, 7) (4, 1) (5, 6) (維持次序)(3, 7) (3, 1) (4, 1) (5, 6) (次序被改變)

不穩定排序算法可能會在相等的鍵值中改變紀錄的相對次序,但是穩定排序算法從來不會如此。不穩定排序算法可以被特別地實作為穩定。作這件事情的一個方式是人工擴充鍵值的比較,如此在其他方面相同鍵值的兩個物件間之比較,(比如上面的比较中加入第二个标准:第二个键值的大小)就會被決定使用在原先資料次序中的條目,當作一個同分決賽。然而,要記住這種次序通常牽涉到額外的空間負擔。【1】

穩定的排序

  • 冒泡排序(bubble sort)— O(n2)
  • 插入排序(insertion sort)—O(n2)
  • 桶排序(bucket sort)—O(n);需要O(k)額外空間
  • 计数排序(countingsort)—O(n+k);需要O(n+k)額外空間
  • 归并排序(merge sort)—O(n logn);需要O(n)額外空間
  • 原地归并排序— O(n2)
  • 二叉排序树排序(binary tree sort)— O(n logn)期望时间; O(n2)最坏时间;需要O(n)額外空間

不穩定的排序

  • 選擇排序(selection sort)—O(n2)
  • 堆排序(heap sort)—O(n log n)
  • 快速排序(quick sort)—O(n log n)期望時間,O(n2)最壞情況;對於大的、亂數串列一般相信是最快的已知排序

平均时间复杂度

平均时间复杂度由高到低为:

  • 冒泡排序O(n2)
  • 选择排序O(n2)
  • 插入排序O(n2)
  • 堆排序O(n log n)
  • 归并排序O(n log n)
  • 快速排序O(n log n)

说明:虽然完全逆序的情况下,快速排序会降到选择排序的速度,不过从概率角度来说(参考信息学理论,和概率学),不对算法做编程上优化时,快速排序的平均速度比堆排序要快一些。

面试官还会问到同样的nlogn算法,你是会使用快速排序,还是使用Merge Sort.

一般来讲,Quick Sort的速度还是要快一点,而且Merge Sort 还会使用额外的空间。另外就是MergeSort是稳定的排序。而快速排序是不稳定的。

 

QUICK SORT

Quick Sort 的算法复杂度【4】:

Worst case performanceO(n2)Best case performanceO(n log n) (simple partition)
or O(n) (three-way partition and equal keys)Average case performanceO(n log n)Worst case space complexityO(n) auxiliary (naive)
O(log n) auxiliary (Sedgewick 1978)

Quick Sort 的优势【3】

See Quicksorton wikipedia:

Typically, quicksort is significantly faster in practice thanother Θ(nlogn) algorithms, because its inner loop can beefficiently implemented on most architectures, and in mostreal-world data, it is possible to make design choices whichminimize the probability of requiring quadratic time.

总而言之
1. Quick Sort 更快
2. 而且是就地排序,空间复杂度为O(1),
3. 是递归算法,在不希望使用递归时,Quick Sort 又不是好的选择了。
4. Quick Sort并不是稳定的算法。原先的次序会被打乱。

 

Merge SORT

Merge Sort 的算法复杂度:【5】

ClassSorting algorithmData structureArrayWorst case performanceO(n log n)Best case performance

O(n log n) typical,

O(n) natural variantAverage case performanceO(n log n)Worst case space complexityO(n) auxiliary

Merge Sort Comparison with other sortalgorithms【2】

Although heapsort has the same time bounds as merge sort, itrequires only Θ(1) auxiliary space instead of merge sort‘sΘ(n). On typical modern architectures, efficient quicksort implementations generally outperformmergesort for sorting RAM-based arrays.[citationneeded] On the other hand, merge sort is astable sort and is more efficient at handling slow-to-accesssequential media. Merge sort is often the best choice for sorting alinked list: in this situation it is relativelyeasy to implement a merge sort in such a way that it requires onlyΘ(1) extra space, and the slow random-access performance of alinked list makes some other algorithms (such as quicksort) performpoorly, and others (such as heapsort) completely impossible.

As of Perl 5.8, merge sort is its default sorting algorithm(it was quicksort in previous versions of Perl). In Java, the Arrays.sort()methods use merge sort or a tuned quicksort depending on thedatatypes and for implementation efficiency switch to insertion sort when fewer than seven arrayelements are being sorted.[11]Python uses Timsort,another tuned hybrid of merge sort and insertion sort, that hasbecome the standard sort algorithm in Java SE7,[12]on the Android platform,[13]and in GNU Octave.[14]

1. Merge Sort对于连续的数据结构比较有优势,因为它是顺序地Merge。而QuickSort需要Random读取。所以对于比如磁带这种媒体,Merge Sort拥有优势。

2. Merge Sort 可以不使用递归来实现。

3. 从Java, Perl对排序算法的选择,我们可以看出Merge Sort & QuickSort都相当流行。

后续还会补充其它排序算法的代码,敬请指正。

 

Bucket sort

桶排序 (Bucket sort)或所谓的箱排序,是一个排序算法,工作的原理是将数组分到有限数量的桶子里。每个桶子再个别排序(有可能再使用别的排序算法或是以递归方式继续使用桶排序进行排序)。桶排序是鸽巢排序的一种归纳结果。当要被排序的数组内的数值是均匀分配的时候,桶排序使用线性时间(Θ(n))。但桶排序并不是 比较排序,他不受到 O(n log n) 下限的影响。

桶排序以下列程序进行:

  1. 设置一个定量的数组当作空桶子。
  2. 寻访序列,并且把项目一个一个放到对应的桶子去。
  3. 对每个不是空的桶子进行排序。
  4. 从不是空的桶子里把项目再放回原来的序列中。
