Here I want to make a bubble sort that compares all the names of type string
in the array names in alphabetic order; like B and A ---> A and B.
And when I do this change I also want to change the position of the itemsToSell array so all the right names have the right numbers next to them. I can't use java.util.Arrays; Any advice?
public static void printNames(String[] name, int[] itemsToSell, int[] amountBought) {
boolean flag = true;
while (flag) {
flag = false;
for (int j = 0; j < name.length - 1; j++) {
for (int i = j + 1; i < name.length; i++) {
if (name[i].compareTo(name[j]) < 0) {
int tempTtem = itemsToSell[j];
itemsToSell[j] = itemsToSell[i];
itemsToSell[i] = tempTtem;
String temp = name[j];
name[j] = name[i];
name[i] = temp;
}
}
System.out.println(name[j] + '\t' + itemsToSell[j] + "\t\t" + amountBought[j]);
}
}
}
public class Main {
public static void bubbleSort(String[] name, int[] itemsToSell) {
while (true) {
boolean sorted = moveRight(name, itemsToSell);
sorted &= moveLeft(name, itemsToSell);
if (sorted)
break;
}
}
private static boolean moveRight(String[] name, int[] itemsToSell) {

for (int i = 0, j = 1; j < name.length; i++, j++) {
if (name[i].compareTo(name[j]) > 0) {

swap(itemsToSell, i, j);
swap(name, i, j);
}
}
return sorted;
}
private static boolean moveLeft(String[] name, int[] itemsToSell) {
boolean sorted = true;
for (int j = name.length - 1, i = j - 1; i >= 0; i--, j--) {
if (name[i].compareTo(name[j]) > 0) {
sorted = false;
swap(itemsToSell, i, j);
swap(name, i, j);
}
}
return sorted;
}

I have an assignment where I have to implement heap sort, quick sort, and counting sort into my program. Currently I have no errors but my output is returning as false for my heap and counting sort. What mistakes am I making? How can they be fixed? Please help any feedback will be appreciated.

EDIT I modified your check method to print out the offending array elements:
public static boolean check_sorted( int[] array ) {
for( int i = 1; i < array.length; i++ ) {
if( array[i-1] > array[i] ) {
System.err.println( "Reversed array elements: " + (i-1) + "="
+ array[i-1] + ", " + i + "=" + array[i] );
return false;
}
return true;
}
It looks like the heap sort does not sort the first element of the array:
Heap sort starts ------------------
100000,5,false
Reversed array elements: 0=100000, 1=99999
And ten more like that.
For this homework assignment I would have suggested doing a google search on the specific sorts you were told to complete.
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/counting-sort/
This will show you the code you just need to modify it for your variables. One thing I noticed right away is you are not building the count array correctly and that is affecting the build of the output array.
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/heap-sort/
Here is the same instruction and explanation for your heap sort. I did not really look deeply into this as I do not have the time right now. Please use these resources to modify your code and hopefully complete the project.
I am new to Java and have tried to implement mergesort in Java. However, even after running the program several times, instead of the desired sorted output, I am getting the same user given input as the output. I would be thankful if someone could help me understand this unexpected behaviour.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class MergeSort {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
BufferedReader R = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int arraySize = Integer.parseInt(R.readLine());
int[] inputArray = new int[arraySize];
for (int i = 0; i < arraySize; i++) {
inputArray[i] = Integer.parseInt(R.readLine());
}
mergeSort(inputArray);
for (int j = 0; j < inputArray.length; j++) {
System.out.println(inputArray[j]);
}
}
static void mergeSort(int[] A) {
if (A.length > 1) {
int q = A.length / 2;
int[] leftArray = Arrays.copyOfRange(A, 0, q);
int[] rightArray = Arrays.copyOfRange(A, q + 1, A.length);
mergeSort(leftArray);
mergeSort(rightArray);
A = merge(leftArray, rightArray);
}
}
static int[] merge(int[] l, int[] r) {
int totElem = l.length + r.length;
int[] a = new int[totElem];
int i, li, ri;
i = li = ri = 0;
while (i < totElem) {
if ((li < l.length) && (ri < r.length)) {
if (l[li] < r[ri]) {
a[i] = l[li];
i++;
li++;
} else {
a[i] = r[ri];
i++;
ri++;
}
} else {
if (li >= l.length) {
while (ri < r.length) {
a[i] = r[ri];
i++;
ri++;
}
}
if (ri >= r.length) {
while (li < l.length) {
a[i] = l[li];
li++;
i++;
}
}
}
}
return a;
}
}
Here is a corrected version of your code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class MergeSort {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
BufferedReader R = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int arraySize = Integer.parseInt(R.readLine());
int[] inputArray = new int[arraySize];
for (int i = 0; i < arraySize; i++) {
inputArray[i] = Integer.parseInt(R.readLine());
}
mergeSort(inputArray);
for (int j = 0; j < inputArray.length; j++) {
System.out.println(inputArray[j]);
}
}
static void mergeSort(int[] A) {
if (A.length > 1) {
int q = A.length/2;
//changed range of leftArray from 0-to-q to 0-to-(q-1)
int[] leftArray = Arrays.copyOfRange(A, 0, q-1);
//changed range of rightArray from q-to-A.length to q-to-(A.length-1)
int[] rightArray = Arrays.copyOfRange(A,q,A.length-1);
mergeSort(leftArray);
mergeSort(rightArray);
merge(A,leftArray,rightArray);
}
}
static void merge(int[] a, int[] l, int[] r) {
int totElem = l.length + r.length;
//int[] a = new int[totElem];
int i,li,ri;
i = li = ri = 0;
while ( i < totElem) {
if ((li < l.length) && (ri<r.length)) {
if (l[li] < r[ri]) {
a[i] = l[li];
i++;
li++;
}
else {
a[i] = r[ri];
i++;
ri++;
}
}
else {
if (li >= l.length) {
while (ri < r.length) {
a[i] = r[ri];
i++;
ri++;
}
}
if (ri >= r.length) {
while (li < l.length) {
a[i] = l[li];
li++;
i++;
}
}
}
}
//return a;
}
}
When you rebind A in mergeSort():
A = merge(leftArray,rightArray);
this has no effect in inputArray in main().
You need to return the sorted array from mergeSort() similarly to how you return it from merge().
static int[] mergeSort(int[] A) {
...
return A;
}
and in main():
int[] mergedArray = mergeSort(inputArray);
for (int j = 0; j < mergedArray.length; j++) {
System.out.println(mergedArray[j]);
}
The problem is that java is pass by value and not pass by reference... When you are assigning to array A in the merge method you are changing a copy of the reference to A and not the reference to A itself. Therefore you need to pass A into your merge method and make a structural change to A.
The problem lies here:
A = merge(leftArray,rightArray);
Now your merge array does this:
static int[] merge(int[] l, int[] r) {
int[] a = new int[totElem];
// bunch of code
return a;
}
When you started, A was a reference to inputArray. But then you reassigned it to be whatever came out of merge. Unfortunately, that doesn't touch what inputArray is in the main method. That basically says "Oh look at all the work you did... throw it away!"
You could change that with something like
static int[] mergeSort(int[] A) {
// A = merge... // not this
return merge... // use this
}
Then in your main method, you can do
int[] merged = mergeSort(inputArray);
for(int i : merged) System.out.println(i);
public class MergeSort{
public static void sort(int[] in){
if(in.length <2) return; //do not need to sort

left[i] = in[i];
}
for(int i=0; i<in.length-mid; i++){ //copy right
right[i] = in[mid+i];
}
sort(left);
sort(right);

Might as well add my take on this:
Takes two int arrays and merges them.
Where 'result' is an array of size a.length + b.length
public static void merge( int[] a, int[] b, int[] result )
{
int i = 0, j = 0;
while ( true )
{
if ( i == a.length )
{
if ( j == b.length )
return;
result[ i + j ] = b[ j ];
j++;
}
else if ( j == b.length )
{
result[ i + j ] = a[ i ];
i++;
}
else if ( a[ i ] < b[ j ] )
{
result[ i + j ] = a[ i ];
i++;
}
else
{
result[ i + j ] = b[ j ];
j++;
}
}

I have a parallel version of Merge Sort. I am benefiting from the RecursiveAction and ForkJoinPool. Note that the number of workers can be set as a constant. However, I am setting it as the number of available processors on the machine.

I am trying to run my code so it prints cyclic permutations, though I can only get it to do the first one at the moment. It runs correctly up to the point which I have marked but I can't see what is going wrong. I think it has no break in the while loop, but I'm not sure. Really could do with some help here.
package permutation;
public class Permutation {
static int DEFAULT = 100;
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = DEFAULT;
if (args.length > 0)
n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
int[] OA = new int[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
OA[i] = i + 1;
System.out.println("The original array is:");
for (int i = 0; i < OA.length; i++)
System.out.print(OA[i] + " ");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("A permutation of the original array is:");
OA = generateRandomPermutation(n);
printArray(OA);
printPemutation(OA);
}
static int[] generateRandomPermutation(int n)// (a)
{
int[] A = new int[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
A[i] = i + 1;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
int r = (int) (Math.random() * (n));
int swap = A[r];
A[r] = A[i];
A[i] = swap;
}
return A;
}
static void printArray(int A[]) {
for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++)
System.out.print(A[i] + " ");
System.out.println();
}
static void printPemutation(int p[])// (b)
{
System.out
.println("The permutation is represented by the cyclic notation:");
int[] B = new int[p.length];
int m = 0;
while (m < p.length)// this is the point at which my code screws up
{
if (!check(B, m)) {
B = parenthesis(p, m);
printParenthesis(B);
m++;
} else
m++;
}// if not there are then repeat
}
static int[] parenthesis(int p[], int i) {
int[] B = new int[p.length];
for (int a = p[i], j = 0; a != B[0]; a = p[a - 1], j++) {
B[j] = a;
}
return B;
}
static void printParenthesis(int B[]) {
System.out.print("( ");
for (int i = 0; i < B.length && B[i] != 0; i++)
System.out.print(B[i] + " ");
System.out.print(")");
}
static boolean check(int B[], int m) {
int i = 0;
boolean a = false;
while (i < B.length || !a) {
if ((ispresent(m, B, i))){
a = true;
break;
}
else
i++;
}
return a;
}
static boolean ispresent(int m, int B[], int i) {
return m == B[i] && m < B.length;
}
}
Among others you should check p[m] in check(B, p[m]) instead of m:
in static void printPemutation(int p[]):
while (m < p.length){
if (!check(B, p[m])) {
B = parenthesis(p, m);
printParenthesis(B);
}
m++;
}
then
static boolean check(int B[], int m) {
int i = 0;
while (i < B.length) {
if (m == B[i]) {
return true;
}
i++;
}
return false;
}
this does somehow more what you want, but not always i fear...
