I have a simple algorithm to order numbers in an array, all of the elements become ordered except for the last one. I have tried changing the bounds of my loops to fix this, but it just creates an infinite loop instead.
while (pointer < arrayLength){
int min = findMinFrom(pointer);
for (int i = pointer; i < arrayLength; i ++){
if (A[i] == min){
swap(i, pointer);
pointer ++;
}
compNewS ++;
}
}
You see what's the problem? Your pointer will be updated only if A[i] == min if not then it will keep looping. Put your pointer++ out of that condition.
This can be done with only two loops but here is an adjusted version of your code:
public class Numbers {
private static int [] A ;
public static void main(String [] args) {
int [] array = {3,2,1,4,5,6,7,8,9,7};
A = array;
newSort(array, array.length);
for(int i = 0; i < A.length;i++)
System.out.println(A[i]);
}
public static void newSort(int[] array, int arrayLength){
int pointer = 0;
int p = 0;
while(p < array.length) {
int min = findMinFrom(p,array);
int temp = array[p];
array[p] = min;
array[min] = temp;
p++;
}
}
public static int findMinFrom(int p, int[] array){
int min = p;
for (int i = p; i < array.length; i ++){
if (A[i] < array[p]){
min =i;
}
}
return min;
}
}
I am implementing quick sort algorithm in java and here is the code :
public class quickSort {
private int array[];
private int length;
public void sort(int[] inputArr) {
if (inputArr == null || inputArr.length == 0) {
return;
}
this.array = inputArr;
length = inputArr.length;
quickSorter(0, length - 1);
}
private void quickSorter(int lowerIndex, int higherIndex) {
int i = lowerIndex;
int j = higherIndex;
// calculate pivot number, I am taking pivot as middle index number
int pivot = array[lowerIndex+(higherIndex-lowerIndex)/2];
// Divide into two arrays
while (i <= j) {
while (array[i] < pivot) {
i++;
}
while (array[j] > pivot) {
j--;
}
if (i <= j) {
exchangeNumbers(i, j);
//move index to next position on both sides
i++;
j--;
}
}
// call quickSort() method recursively
if (lowerIndex < j)
quickSorter(lowerIndex, j);
if (i < higherIndex)
quickSorter(i, higherIndex);
}
private void exchangeNumbers(int i, int j) {
int temp = array[i];
array[i] = array[j];
array[j] = temp;
}
}
Then I implement it with (median of three)
public class quickSort {
private int array[];
private int length;
public void sort(int[] inputArr) {
if (inputArr == null || inputArr.length == 0) {
return;
}
this.array = inputArr;
length = inputArr.length;
quickSorter(0, length - 1);
}
private void quickSorter(int lowerIndex, int higherIndex) {
int i = lowerIndex;
int j = higherIndex;
int mid = lowerIndex+(higherIndex-lowerIndex)/2;
if (array[i]>array[mid]){
exchangeNumbers( i, mid);
}
if (array[i]>array[j]){
exchangeNumbers( i, j);
}
if (array[j]<array[mid]){
exchangeNumbers( j, mid);
}
int pivot = array[mid];
// Divide into two arrays
while (i <= j) {
while (array[i] < pivot) {
i++;
}
while (array[j] > pivot) {
j--;
}
if (i <= j) {
exchangeNumbers(i, j);
//move index to next position on both sides
i++;
j--;
}
}
// call quickSort() method recursively
if (lowerIndex < j)
quickSorter(lowerIndex, j);
if (i < higherIndex)
quickSorter(i, higherIndex);
}
private void exchangeNumbers(int i, int j) {
int temp = array[i];
array[i] = array[j];
array[j] = temp;
}
}
and the testing main :
public static void main(String[] args) {
File number = new File ("f.txt");
final int size = 10000000;
try{
quickSortOptimize opti = new quickSortOptimize();
quickSort s = new quickSort();
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(number);
for (int i=0;i<size;i++){
printWriter.println((int)(Math.random()*100000));
}
printWriter.close();
Scanner in = new Scanner (number);
int [] arr1 = new int [size];
for (int i=0;i<size;i++){
arr1[i]=Integer.parseInt(in.nextLine());
}
long a=System.currentTimeMillis();
opti.sort(arr1);
long b=System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Optimaized quicksort: "+(double)(b-a)/1000);
in.close();
int [] arr2 = new int [size];
Scanner in2= new Scanner(number);
for (int i=0;i<size;i++){
arr2[i]=Integer.parseInt(in2.nextLine());
}
long c=System.currentTimeMillis();
s.sort(arr2);
long d=System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("normal Quicksort: "+(double)(d-c)/1000);
}catch (Exception ex){ex.printStackTrace();}
}
The problem is that this method of optimization should improve performance by 5%
but, what happens actually is that I have done this test many times and almost always getting better result on normal quicksort that optimized one
so what is wrong with the second implementation
A median of three (or more) will usually be slower for input that's randomly ordered.
A median of three is intended to help prevent a really bad case from being quite as horrible. There are ways of making it pretty bad anyway, but at least avoids the problem for a few common orderings--e.g., selecting the first element as the pivot can produce terrible results if/when (most of) the input is already ordered.
I have a few problems to do and I have a decent understanding of how they work I just want feedback on if I am correct. I need to figure out the big-oh-notation of the following.
1.
public static int[] mystery1(int[] list) {
int[] result = new int[2*list.length];
for (int i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
result[2*i] = list[i] / 2+list[i] % 2;
result[2*i+1] = list[i] / 2;
}
I think this one would be Nlog(N)
2.
public static int[] mystery2(int[] list) {
for (int i=0; i<list.length/2; i++) {
int j = list.length-1-i;
int temp = list[i];
list[i] = list[j];
list[j] = temp;
}
return list;
}
I think this one would be O(logN) because it's diving by 2 until it finishes
3.
public static void mystery3(ArrayList<String> list) {
for (int i=0; i<list.size-1; i+=2) {
String first = list.remove(i);
list.add(i+1, first);
}
}
I think this one would be O(N)
4.
public static void mystery4(ArrayList<String> list) {
for (int i=0; i<list.size-1; i+=2) {
String first = list.get(i);
list.set(i, list.get(i+1));
list.set(i+1, first);
}
}
I think this one would be O(N).
All are O(N) except Mystrey3 which is O(N^2)= due to add.list
this is the code for the mergeSort,this gives an stackoverflow error in line 53 and 54(mergeSort(l,m); and mergeSort(m,h);)

Following is the recursive iterations table of the mergeSort function with argument l=0 and h=4
when the value of l is 0 and value of h is 1 , expression calculate m value which turn out to be 0 but we are checking condition with h which is still 1 so 0<1 become true , recursive calls of this mergeSort function forms a pattern , this pattern doesn't let the function to terminate , stack runs out of memory , cause stackoverflow error.

What would be the best approach (performance-wise) in solving this problem?
I was recommended to use suffix trees. Is this the best approach?

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_array as well - they are quite space-efficient and have some reasonably programmable algorithms to produce them, such as "Simple Linear Work Suffix Array Construction" by Karkkainen and Sanders
Here is a simple implementation of longest repeated substring using simplest suffix tree. Suffix tree is very easy to implement in this way.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <unordered_map>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Node
{
public:
char ch;
unordered_map<char, Node*> children;
vector<int> indexes; //store the indexes of the substring from where it starts
Node(char c):ch(c){}
};
int maxLen = 0;
string maxStr = "";
void insertInSuffixTree(Node* root, string str, int index, string originalSuffix, int level=0)
{
root->indexes.push_back(index);
// it is repeated and length is greater than maxLen
// then store the substring
if(root->indexes.size() > 1 && maxLen < level)
{
maxLen = level;
maxStr = originalSuffix.substr(0, level);
}
if(str.empty()) return;
Node* child;
if(root->children.count(str[0]) == 0) {
child = new Node(str[0]);
root->children[str[0]] = child;
} else {
child = root->children[str[0]];
}
insertInSuffixTree(child, str.substr(1), index, originalSuffix, level+1);
}
int main()
{
string str = "banana"; //"abcabcaacb"; //"banana"; //"mississippi";
Node* root = new Node('#');
//insert all substring in suffix tree
for(int i=0; i<str.size(); i++){
string s = str.substr(i);
insertInSuffixTree(root, s, i, s);
}
cout << maxLen << "->" << maxStr << endl;
return 1;
}
/*
s = "mississippi", return "issi"
s = "banana", return "ana"
s = "abcabcaacb", return "abca"
s = "aababa", return "aba"
*/
the LRS problem is one that is best solved using either a suffix tree or a suffix array. Both approaches have a best time complexity of O(n).
Here is an O(nlog(n)) solution to the LRS problem using a suffix array. My solution can be improved to O(n) if you have a linear construction time algorithm for the suffix array (which is quite hard to implement). The code was taken from my library. If you want more information on how suffix arrays work make sure to check out my tutorials

There are way too many things that affect performance for us to answer this question with only what you've given us. (Operating System, language, memory issues, the code itself)
If you're just looking for a mathematical analysis of the algorithm's efficiency, you probably want to change the question.
EDIT
When I mentioned "memory issues" and "the code" I didn't provide all the details. The length of the strings you will be analyzing are a BIG factor. Also, the code doesn't operate alone - it must sit inside a program to be useful. What are the characteristics of that program which impact this algorithm's use and performance?
Basically, you can't performance tune until you have a real situation to test. You can make very educated guesses about what is likely to perform best, but until you have real data and real code, you'll never be certain.
