public class Quick extends Object
Quick
class provides static methods for sorting an
array and selecting the ith smallest element in an array using quicksort.
For additional documentation, see Section 2.3 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
static void |
main(String[] args)
Reads in a sequence of strings from standard input; quicksorts them;
and prints them to standard output in ascending order.
|
static Comparable |
select(Comparable[] a,
int k)
Rearranges the array so that
a[k] contains the kth smallest key;
a[0] through a[k-1] are less than (or equal to) a[k] ; and
a[k+1] through a[n-1] are greater than (or equal to) a[k] . |
static void |
sort(Comparable[] a)
Rearranges the array in ascending order, using the natural order.
