99 Notes on Insertion Sort Insertion sort is O(n) in the best case. Insertion sort is O(n2 ) in the worst case. On average, insertion sort is roughly twice as fast as selection sort. In a random array, every element is about halfway away from where it belongs. So for the kth element, about (k 1) / 2 other elements must be looked at.

139 High-Level Idea A recursive sorting algorithm! Base case: An empty or single-element list is already sorted. Recursive step: Break the list in half and recursively sort each part. Use merge to combine them back into a single sorted list. This algorithm is called mergesort.

140 Code for Mergesort

141 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

142 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

143 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

144 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

145 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

146 What is the complexity of mergesort?

147 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

148 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

149 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

150 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); } /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v);

151 Code for Mergesort void Mergesort(Vector<int>& v) { /* Base case: 0- or 1-element lists are already sorted. */ if (v.size() <= 1) return; /* Split v into two subvectors. */ Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; } /* Recursively sort these arrays. */ Mergesort(left); Mergesort(right); /* Combine them together. */ Merge(left, right, v); How How do do we we analyze this this step? step?

152 A Graphical Intuition O(n) O(n) O(n) O(n) O(n)

153 A Graphical Intuition O(n) O(n) O(n) O(n) O(n) How many levels are there?

154 Slicing and Dicing After zero recursive calls: N After one recursive call: N / 2 After two recursive calls: N / 4 After three recursive calls: N / 8 After k recursive calls: N / 2 k

155 Cutting in Half After k recursive calls, there are N / 2 k elements left. Mergesort stops recursing when there are zero or one elements left. Solving for the number of levels: N / 2 k = 1 N = 2 k log 2 N = k So mergesort recurses log 2 N levels deep.

159 Analysis of Mergesort Mergesort is O(n log n). This is asymptotically better than O(n2 ) Can we do better? In general, no: comparison-based sorts cannot have a worst-case runtime better than O(n log n). We can only get faster by a constant factor!

167 So What? This idea leads to a particularly clever sorting algorithm. Idea: Pick an element from the array. Put the smaller elements on one side. Put the bigger elements on the other side. Recursively sort each half. But how do we do the middle two steps?

168 Partitioning Pick a pivot element. Move everything less than the pivot to the left of the pivot. Move everything greater than the pivot to the right of the pivot. Good news: O(n) algorithm exists! Bad news: it's a bit tricky...

191 A Partition-Based Sort Idea: Partition the array around some element. Recursively sort the left and right halves. This works extremely quickly. In fact... the algorithm is called quicksort.

192 Quicksort

193 Quicksort void Quicksort(Vector<int>& v, int low, int high) { if (low >= high) return; } int partitionpoint = Partition(v, low, high); Quicksort(v, low, partitionpoint 1); Quicksort(v, partitionpoint + 1, high);

194 How fast is quicksort?

195 It depends on our choice of pivot.

213 Suppose we get unlucky n n - 1 n - 2 n O(n 2 )

214 Quicksort is Strange In most cases, quicksort is O(n log n). However, in the worst case, quicksort is O(n2 ). How can you avoid this? Pick better pivots! Pick the median. Can be done in O(n), but expensive O(n). Pick the median-of-three. Better than nothing, but still can hit worst case. Pick randomly. Extremely low probability of O(n 2 ).

215 Quicksort is Fast Although quicksort is O(n2 ) in the worst case, it is one of the fastest known sorting algorithms. O(n2 ) behavior is extremely unlikely with random pivots; runtime is usually a very good O(n log n). It's hard to argue with the numbers...

218 An Interesting Observation Big-O notation talks about long-term growth, but says nothing about small inputs. For small inputs, insertion sort can be better than mergesort or quicksort. Why? Mergesort and quicksort both have high overhead per call. Insertion sort is extremely simple.

219 Hybrid Sorts Combine multiple sorting algorithms together to get advantages of each. Insertion sort is good on small inputs. Merge sort is good on large inputs. Can we combine them?

220 Hybrid Mergesort

221 Hybrid Mergesort void HybridMergesort(Vector<int>& v) { if (v.size() <= 8) { InsertionSort(v); } else { Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; HybridMergesort(left); HybridMergesort(right); } } Merge(left, right, v);

222 Hybrid Mergesort void HybridMergesort(Vector<int>& v) { if (v.size() <= 8) { InsertionSort(v); } else { Vector<int> left, right; for (int i = 0; i < v.size() / 2; i++) left += v[i]; for (int i = v.size() / 2; i < v.size(); i++) right += v[i]; HybridMergesort(left); HybridMergesort(right); } } Merge(left, right, v);

223 Runtime for Hybrid Mergesort Size Mergesort Hybrid Mergesort Quicksort

224 Hybrid Sorts in Practice Introspective Sort (Introsort) Based on quicksort, insertion sort, and heapsort. Heapsort is Θ(n log n) and a bit faster than mergesort. Uses quicksort, then switches to heapsort if it looks like the algorithm is degenerating to O(n 2 ). Uses insertion sort for small inputs. Gains the raw speed of quicksort without any of the drawbacks.

227 We've spent all of our time talking about fast and efficient sorting algorithms.

228 However, we have neglected to find slow and inefficient sorting algorithms.

229

230 Introducing Bogosort Intuition: Suppose you want to sort a deck of cards. Check if it's sorted. If so, you're done. Otherwise, shuffle the deck and repeat. This is O(n n!) in the average case. Could run for much longer...

231 Further Topics in Sorting Heapsort Extremely fast Θ(n log n) sorting algorithm. Radix Sort Sorts integers in O(n log U) by working one digit at a time, where U is the largest integer being sorted. Used by old IBM sorting machines. Bead Sort Ingenious sorting algorithm for integers. Uses gravity... how cool is that?
