I have an array of objects in Java, and I am trying to pull one element to the top and shift the rest down by one.
Assume I have an array of size 10, and I am trying to pull the fifth element. The fifth element goes into position 0 and all elements from 0 to 5 will be shifted down by one.
This algorithm does not properly shift the elements:
Object temp = pool[position];
for (int i = 0; i < position; i++) {
array[i+1] = array[i];
}
array[0] = temp;
How do I do it correctly?
Logically it does not work and you should reverse your loop:
for (int i = position-1; i >= 0; i--) {
array[i+1] = array[i];
}
Alternatively you can use
System.arraycopy(array, 0, array, 1, position);
Assuming your array is {10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100}
What your loop does is:
Iteration 1: array[1] = array[0]; {10,10,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100}
Iteration 2: array[2] = array[1]; {10,10,10,40,50,60,70,80,90,100}
What you should be doing is
Object temp = pool[position];
for (int i = (position - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
array[i+1] = array[i];
}
array[0] = temp;
You can just use Collections.rotate(List<?> list, int distance)
Use Arrays.asList(array) to convert to List
more info at: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Collections.html#rotate(java.util.List,%20int)
Instead of shifting by one position you can make this function more general using module like this.
int[] original = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
int[] reordered = new int[original.length];
int shift = 1;
for(int i=0; i<original.length;i++)
reordered[i] = original[(shift+i)%original.length];
Just for completeness: Stream solution since Java 8.
final String[] shiftedArray = Arrays.stream(array)
.skip(1)
.toArray(String[]::new);
I think I sticked with the System.arraycopy() in your situtation. But the best long-term solution might be to convert everything to Immutable Collections (Guava, Vavr), as long as those collections are short-lived.
Manipulating arrays in this way is error prone, as you've discovered. A better option may be to use a LinkedList in your situation. With a linked list, and all Java collections, array management is handled internally so you don't have to worry about moving elements around. With a LinkedList you just call remove and then addLast and the you're done.
Try this:
Object temp = pool[position];
for (int i = position-1; i >= 0; i--) {
array[i+1] = array[i];
}
array[0] = temp;

Using array Copy
Generic solution for k times shift k=1 or k=3 etc
public void rotate(int[] nums, int k) {
// Step 1
// k > array length then we dont need to shift k times because when we shift
// array length times then the array will go back to intial position.
// so we can just do only k%array length times.
// change k = k% array.length;
if (k > nums.length) {
k = k % nums.length;
}
// Step 2;
// initialize temporary array with same length of input array.
// copy items from input array starting from array length -k as source till
// array end and place in new array starting from index 0;
int[] tempArray = new int[nums.length];
System.arraycopy(nums, nums.length - k, tempArray, 0, k);
// step3:
// loop and copy all the remaining elements till array length -k index and copy
// in result array starting from position k
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - k; i++) {
tempArray[k + i] = nums[i];
}
// step 4 copy temp array to input array since our goal is to change input
// array.
System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, nums, 0, tempArray.length);
}
code
public void rotate(int[] nums, int k) {
if (k > nums.length) {
k = k % nums.length;
}
int[] tempArray = new int[nums.length];
System.arraycopy(nums, nums.length - k, tempArray, 0, k);
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - k; i++) {
tempArray[k + i] = nums[i];
}
System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, nums, 0, tempArray.length);
}
In the first iteration of your loop, you overwrite the value in array[1]. You should go through the indicies in the reverse order.
static void pushZerosToEnd(int arr[])
{ int n = arr.length;
int count = 0; // Count of non-zero elements
// Traverse the array. If element encountered is non-zero, then
// replace the element at index 'count' with this element
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++){
if (arr[i] != 0)`enter code here`
// arr[count++] = arr[i]; // here count is incremented
swapNumbers(arr,count++,i);
}
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++){
System.out.print(arr[j]+",");
}
}
public static void swapNumbers(int [] arr, int pos1, int pos2){
int temp = arr[pos2];
arr[pos2] = arr[pos1];
arr[pos1] = temp;
}
Another variation if you have the array data as a Java-List
listOfStuff.add(
0,
listOfStuff.remove(listOfStuff.size() - 1) );
Just sharing another option I ran across for this, but I think the answer from #Murat Mustafin is the way to go with a list
public class Test1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] x = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
Test1 test = new Test1();
x = test.shiftArray(x, 2);
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
System.out.print(x[i] + " ");
}
}
public int[] pushFirstElementToLast(int[] x, int position) {
int temp = x[0];
for (int i = 0; i < x.length - 1; i++) {
x[i] = x[i + 1];
}
x[x.length - 1] = temp;
return x;
}
public int[] shiftArray(int[] x, int position) {
for (int i = position - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
x = pushFirstElementToLast(x, position);
}
return x;
}
}
A left rotation operation on an array of size n shifts each of the array's elements unit to the left, check this out!!!!!!
public class Solution {
private static final Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] nd = scanner.nextLine().split(" ");
int n = Integer.parseInt(nd[0]); //no. of elements in the array
int d = Integer.parseInt(nd[1]); //number of left rotations
int[] a = new int[n];
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
a[i]=scanner.nextInt();
}
Solution s= new Solution();
//number of left rotations
for(int j=0;j<d;j++){
s.rotate(a,n);
}
//print the shifted array
for(int i:a){System.out.print(i+" ");}
}
//shift each elements to the left by one
public static void rotate(int a[],int n){
int temp=a[0];
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
if(i<n-1){a[i]=a[i+1];}
else{a[i]=temp;}
}}
}
You can use the Below codes for shifting not rotating:
int []arr = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12};
int n = arr.length;
int d = 3;
Programm for shifting array of size n by d elements towards left:
Input : {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}
Output: {4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,10,11,12}
public void shiftLeft(int []arr,int d,int n) {
for(int i=0;i<n-d;i++) {
arr[i] = arr[i+d];
}
}
Programm for shifting array of size n by d elements towards right:
Input : {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}
Output: {1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
public void shiftRight(int []arr,int d,int n) {
for(int i=n-1;i>=d;i--) {
arr[i] = arr[i-d];
}
}
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Shift {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
int array[] = new int [5];
int array1[] = new int [5];
int i, temp;
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.printf("Enter array[%d]: \n", i);
array[i] = input.nextInt(); //Taking input in the array
}
System.out.println("\nEntered datas are: \n");
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.printf("array[%d] = %d\n", i, array[i]); //This will show the data you entered (Not the shifting one)
}
temp = array[4]; //We declared the variable "temp" and put the last number of the array there...
System.out.println("\nAfter Shifting: \n");
for(i=3; i>=0; i--) {
array1[i+1] = array[i]; //New array is "array1" & Old array is "array". When array[4] then the value of array[3] will be assigned in it and this goes on..
array1[0] = temp; //Finally the value of last array which was assigned in temp goes to the first of the new array
}
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.printf("array[%d] = %d\n", i, array1[i]);
}
input.close();
}
}
Write a Java program to create an array of 20 integers, and then implement the process of shifting the array to right for two elements.
public class NewClass3 {
public static void main (String args[]){
int a [] = {1,2,};
int temp ;
for(int i = 0; i<a.length -1; i++){
temp = a[i];
a[i] = a[i+1];
a[i+1] = temp;
}
for(int p : a)
System.out.print(p);
}
}
I was asked to write my own implementation to remove duplicated values in an array. Here is what I have created. But after tests with 1,000,000 elements it took very long time to finish. Is there something that I can do to improve my algorithm or any bugs to remove ?
I need to write my own implementation - not to use Set, HashSet etc. Or any other tools such as iterators. Simply an array to remove duplicates.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
int end = arr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < end; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < end; j++) {
if (arr[i] == arr[j]) {
int shiftLeft = j;
for (int k = j+1; k < end; k++, shiftLeft++) {
arr[shiftLeft] = arr[k];
}
end--;
j--;
}
}
}
int[] whitelist = new int[end];
for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
whitelist[i] = arr[i];
}
return whitelist;
}
you can take the help of Set collection
int end = arr.length;
Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
set.add(arr[i]);
}
now if you will iterate through this set, it will contain only unique values. Iterating code is like this :
Iterator it = set.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(it.next());
}
If you are allowed to use Java 8 streams:
Arrays.stream(arr).distinct().toArray();
Note: I am assuming the array is sorted.
Code:
int[] input = new int[]{1, 1, 3, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10};
int current = input[0];
boolean found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (current == input[i] && !found) {
found = true;
} else if (current != input[i]) {
System.out.print(" " + current);
current = input[i];
found = false;
}
}
System.out.print(" " + current);
output:
1 3 7 8 9 10
Slight modification to the original code itself, by removing the innermost for loop.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr){
int end = arr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < end; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < end; j++) {
if (arr[i] == arr[j]) {
/*int shiftLeft = j;
for (int k = j+1; k < end; k++, shiftLeft++) {
arr[shiftLeft] = arr[k];
}*/
arr[j] = arr[end-1];
end--;
j--;
}
}
}
int[] whitelist = new int[end];
/*for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
whitelist[i] = arr[i];
}*/
System.arraycopy(arr, 0, whitelist, 0, end);
return whitelist;
}
There exists many solution of this problem.
The sort approach
You sort your array and resolve only unique items
The set approach
You declare a HashSet where you put all item then you have only unique ones.
You create a boolean array that represent the items all ready returned, (this depend on your data in the array).
If you deal with large amount of data i would pick the 1. solution. As you do not allocate additional memory and sorting is quite fast. For small set of data the complexity would be n^2 but for large i will be n log n.
Since you can assume the range is between 0-1000 there is a very simple and efficient solution
//Throws an exception if values are not in the range of 0-1000
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
boolean[] set = new boolean[1001]; //values must default to false
int totalItems = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
if (!set[arr[i]]) {
set[arr[i]] = true;
totalItems++;
}
}
int[] ret = new int[totalItems];
int c = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < set.length; ++i) {
if (set[i]) {
ret[c++] = i;
}
}
return ret;
}
This runs in linear time O(n). Caveat: the returned array is sorted so if that is illegal then this answer is invalid.

Since this question is still getting a lot of attention, I decided to answer it by copying this answer from Code Review.SE:
You're following the same philosophy as the bubble sort, which is
very, very, very slow. Have you tried this?:
Sort your unordered array with quicksort. Quicksort is much faster
than bubble sort (I know, you are not sorting, but the algorithm you
follow is almost the same as bubble sort to traverse the array).
Then start removing duplicates (repeated values will be next to each
other). In a for loop you could have two indices: source and
destination. (On each loop you copy source to destination unless they
are the same, and increment both by 1). Every time you find a
duplicate you increment source (and don't perform the copy).

**This is the most simplest way**
What if you create two boolean arrays: 1 for negative values and 1 for positive values and init it all on false.
Then you cycle thorugh the input array and lookup in the arrays if you've encoutered the value already.
If not, you add it to the output array and mark it as already used.

Runs in O(N) time instead of your O(N^3) time
Not a big fun of updating user input, however considering your constraints...

Array sort can be easily replaced with any nlog(n) algorithm.
This is simple way to sort the elements in the array

Okay, so you cannot use Set or other collections. One solution I don't see here so far is one based on the use of a Bloom filter, which essentially is an array of bits, so perhaps that passes your requirements.
The Bloom filter is a lovely and very handy technique, fast and space-efficient, that can be used to do a quick check of the existence of an element in a set without storing the set itself or the elements. It has a (typically small) false positive rate, but no false negative rate. In other words, for your question, if a Bloom filter tells you that an element hasn't been seen so far, you can be sure it hasn't. But if it says that an element has been seen, you actually need to check. This still saves a lot of time if there aren't too many duplicates in your list (for those, there is no looping to do, except in the small probability case of a false positive --you typically chose this rate based on how much space you are willing to give to the Bloom filter (rule of thumb: less than 10 bits per unique element for a false positive rate of 1%).
There are many implementations of Bloom filters, see e.g. here or here, so I won't repeat that in this answer. Let us just assume the api described in that last reference, in particular, the description of put(E e):
true if the Bloom filter's bits changed as a result of this operation. If the bits changed, this is definitely the first time object has been added to the filter. If the bits haven't changed, this might be the first time object has been added to the filter. (...)
An implementation using such a Bloom filter would then be:
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
ArrayList<Integer> out = new ArrayList<>();
int n = arr.length;
BloomFilter<Integer> bf = new BloomFilter<>(...); // decide how many bits and how many hash functions to use (compromise between space and false positive rate)
for (int e : arr) {
boolean might_contain = !bf.put(e);
boolean found = false;
if (might_contain) {
// check if false positive
for (int u : out) {
if (u == e) {
found = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (!found) {
out.add(e);
}
}
return out.stream().mapToInt(i -> i).toArray();
}
Obviously, if you can alter the incoming array in place, then there is no need for an ArrayList: at the end, when you know the actual number of unique elements, just arraycopy() those.
For a sorted Array, just check the next index:
//sorted data!
public static int[] distinct(int[] arr) {
int[] temp = new int[arr.length];
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
int current = arr[i];
if(count > 0 )
if(temp[count - 1] == current)
continue;
temp[count] = current;
count++;
}
int[] whitelist = new int[count];
System.arraycopy(temp, 0, whitelist, 0, count);
return whitelist;
}
You need to sort your array then then loop and remove duplicates. As you cannot use other tools you need to write be code yourself.
You can easily find examples of quicksort in Java on the internet (on which this example is based).

}
prev = original[i];

}
So the process runs in 3 steps.
Sort the array - O(nlgn)
Remove duplicates - O(n)
Compact the array - O(n)
So this improves significantly on your O(n^3) approach.
Output:
[1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9]
[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9]
EDIT
OP states values inside array doesn't matter really. But I can assume that range is between 0-1000. This is a classic case where an O(n) sort can be used.
We create an array of size range +1, in this case 1001. We then loop over the data and increment the values on each index corresponding to the datapoint.
We can then compact the resulting array, dropping values the have not been incremented. This makes the values unique as we ignore the count.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final int[] original = new int[]{1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1, 1000, 1000};
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(original));
final int[] buckets = new int[1001];
for (final int i : original) {

}
}
final int[] compressed = new int[count];
System.arraycopy(unique, 0, compressed, 0, count);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(compressed));
}
Output:

I know this is kinda dead but I just wrote this for my own use. It's more or less the same as adding to a hashset and then pulling all the elements out of it. It should run in O(nlogn) worst case.

You can use an auxiliary array (temp) which in indexes are numbers of main array. So the time complexity will be liner and O(n). As we want to do it without using any library, we define another array (unique) to push non-duplicate elements:
var num = [2,4,9,4,1,2,24,12,4];
let temp = [];
let unique = [];
let j = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < num.length; i++){
if (temp[num[i]] !== 1){
temp[num[i]] = 1;
unique[j++] = num[i];
}
}
console.log(unique);
If you are looking to remove duplicates using the same array and also keeping the time complexity of O(n). Then this should do the trick. Also, would only work if the array is sorted.
function removeDuplicates_sorted(arr){
let j = 0;
for(let x = 0; x < arr.length - 1; x++){
if(arr[x] != arr[x + 1]){
arr[j++] = arr[x];
}
}
arr[j++] = arr[arr.length - 1];
arr.length = j;
return arr;
}
Here is for an unsorted array, its O(n) but uses more space complexity then the sorted.
function removeDuplicates_unsorted(arr){
let map = {};
let j = 0;
for(var numbers of arr){
if(!map[numbers]){
map[numbers] = 1;
arr[j++] = numbers;
}
}
arr.length = j;
return arr;
}
Note to other readers who desire to use the Set method of solving this problem: If original ordering must be preserved, do not use HashSet as in the top result. HashSet does not guarantee the preservation of the original order, so LinkedHashSet should be used instead-this keeps track of the order in which the elements were inserted into the set and returns them in that order.
This is an interview question.

I feel Android Killer's idea is great, but I just wondered if we can leverage HashMap. So I did a little experiment. And I found HashMap seems faster than HashSet.
Here is code:
int[] input = new int[1000000];
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
Random random = new Random();
input[i] = random.nextInt(200000);
}
long startTime1 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Set start time:" + startTime1);
Set<Integer> resultSet = new HashSet<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
resultSet.add(input[i]);
}
long endTime1 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Set end time:"+ endTime1);
System.out.println("result of set:" + (endTime1 - startTime1));
System.out.println("number of Set:" + resultSet.size() + "\n");
long startTime2 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Map start time:" + startTime1);
Map<Integer, Integer> resultMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (!resultMap.containsKey(input[i]))
resultMap.put(input[i], input[i]);
}
long endTime2 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Map end Time:" + endTime2);
System.out.println("result of Map:" + (endTime2 - startTime2));
System.out.println("number of Map:" + resultMap.size());
Here is result:
Set start time:1441960583837
Set end time:1441960583917
result of set:80
number of Set:198652
Map start time:1441960583837
Map end Time:1441960583983
result of Map:66
number of Map:198652
This is not using Set, Map, List or any extra collection, only two arrays:
package arrays.duplicates;
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class ArrayDuplicatesRemover<T> {
public static <T> T[] removeDuplicates(T[] input, Class<T> clazz) {
T[] output = (T[]) Array.newInstance(clazz, 0);
for (T t : input) {
if (!inArray(t, output)) {
output = Arrays.copyOf(output, output.length + 1);
output[output.length - 1] = t;
}
}
return output;
}
private static <T> boolean inArray(T search, T[] array) {
for (T element : array) {
if (element.equals(search)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
And the main to test it
package arrays.duplicates;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class TestArrayDuplicates {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Integer[] array = {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4};
testArrayDuplicatesRemover(array);
}
private static void testArrayDuplicatesRemover(Integer[] array) {
final Integer[] expectedResult = {1, 2, 3, 4};
Integer[] arrayWithoutDuplicates = ArrayDuplicatesRemover.removeDuplicates(array, Integer.class);
System.out.println("Array without duplicates is supposed to be: " + Arrays.toString(expectedResult));
System.out.println("Array without duplicates currently is: " + Arrays.toString(arrayWithoutDuplicates));
System.out.println("Is test passed ok?: " + (Arrays.equals(arrayWithoutDuplicates, expectedResult) ? "YES" : "NO"));
}
}
And the output:
Array without duplicates is supposed to be: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Array without duplicates currently is: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Is test passed ok?: YES
I tried to make an implementation of bubble sort, but I am not sure whether it is correct or not. If you can give it a look and if it is a bubble sort and can be done in better way please don't be shy. Here is the code:
package Exercises;
import java.util.*;
public class BubbleSort_6_18
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Random generator = new Random();
int[] list = new int[11];
for(int i=0; i<list.length; i++)
{
list[i] = generator.nextInt(10);
}
System.out.println("Original Random array: ");
printArray(list);
bubbleSort(list);
System.out.println("\nAfter bubble sort: ");
printArray(list);
}
public static void bubbleSort(int[] list)
{
for(int i=0; i<list.length; i++)
{
for(int j=i + 1; j<list.length; j++)
{
if(list[i] > list[j])
{
int temp = list[i];
list[i] = list[j];
list[j] = temp;
}
}
}
}
public static void printArray(int[] list)
{
for(int i=0; i<list.length; i++)
{
System.out.print(list[i] + ", ");
}
}
}
private static int [] bublesort (int[] list , int length) {
boolean swap = true;
int temp;
while(swap){
swap = false;
for(int i = 0;i < list.length-1; i++){
if(list[i] > list[i+1]){
temp = list[i];
list[i] = list[i+1];
list[i+1] = temp;
swap = true;
}
}
}
return list;
}
Mohammod Hossain implementation is quite good but he does alot of unecessary iterations, sadly he didnt accept my edit and i can't comment due to reputations points so here is how it should look like:
public void sort(int[] array) {
int temp = 0;
boolean swap = true;
int range = array.length - 1;
while (swap) {
swap = false;
for (int i = 0; i < range; i++) {
if (array[i] > array[i + 1]) {
temp = array[i];
array[i] = array[i + 1];
array[i + 1] = temp;
swap = true;
}
}
range--;
}
}
This is the calssical implementation for bubble sort and it seems to be OK. There are several optimizations that can be done, but the overall idea is the same. Here are some ideas:
If there is an iteration of the outer cycle when no swap is performed in the inner cycle, then break, no use to continue
On each iteration of the outer cycle swap the direction of the inner one - do it once left to right and then do it once right to left(this helps avoid elements moving slowly towards the right end).
{
System.out.println("The Elments Before Sorting:");
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++)
{
System.out.print(a[i]+"\t");
}
for(i=1;i<=a.length-1;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<=a.length-i-1;j++)
{
if((a[j])>(a[j+1]))
{
temp=a[j];
a[j]=a[j+1];
a[j+1]=temp;
}
}
System.out.println("The Elements After Sorting:");
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++)
{
System.out.println(a[i]+"\t");
}
}
}
Short Answer: This is definitely NOT Bubble sort. It is a variant of Selection sort (a less efficient variant than the commonly known one).
It might be helpful to see a visualization of how they work on VisuAlgo
Why this is not bubble sort?
Because you loop over the array and compare each element to each other element on its right. if the right element is smaller you swap. Thus, at the end of the first outer loop iteration you will have the smallest element on the left most position and you have done N swaps in the worst case (think of a reverse-ordered array).
If you think about it, you did not really need to do all these swaps, you could have searched for the minimum value on the right then after you find it you swap. This is simply the idea of Selection sort, you select the min of remaining unsorted elements and put it in its correct position.
How does bubble sort look like then?
In bubble sort you always compare two adjacent elements and bubble the larger one to the right. At the end of the first iteration of the outer loop, you would have the largest element on the right-most position. The swap flag stops the outer loop when the array is already sorted.
void bubbleSort(int[] arr) {
boolean swap = true;
for(int i = arr.length - 1; i > 0 && swap; i--) {
swap = false;
// for the unsorted part of the array, bubble the largest element to the right.
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
if (arr[j] > arr[j+1]) {
// swap
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j+1];
arr[j+1] = temp;
swap = true;
}
}
}
}
Yes it seems to be Bubble sort swapping the elements
Bubble sort
void bubbleSort(int arr[])
{
int n = arr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < n-i-1; j++)
if (arr[j] > arr[j+1])
{
// swap temp and arr[i]
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j+1];
arr[j+1] = temp;
}
}
It will give in worst case O(n^2) and even if array is sorted.
I think you got the idea of bubble sort by looking at your code:
Bubble sort usually works like the following:
Assume aNumber is some random number:
for (int i = 0; i < aNumber; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < aNumber; j++)
//Doing something with i and j, usually running it as a loop for 2D array
//array[i][j] will give you a complete sort.
}
How bubble sort works is it iterates through every single possible spot of the array. i x j times
The down side to this is, it will take square the number of times to sort something. Not very efficient, but it does get the work done in the easiest way.
You can loop over the array until no more elements are swapped
When you put the element at the last position you know it's the largest, so you can recuce the inner loop by 1
A bubblesort version with while loops from my first undergraduate year ("the BlueJ era").
public static void bubbleSort()
{
int[] r = randomArrayDisplayer();
int i = r.length;
while(i!=0){
int j = 0;
while(j!=i-1){
if(r[j+1]<r[j]){
swap(r,j,j+1);
}
j++;
}
i--;
}
}
private static void swap(int[] r, int u, int v)
{
int value = r[u];
r[u] = r[v];
r[v] = value;
arrayDisplayer(r);
}
My advice is to display every step in order to be sure of the correct behaviour.
public class BubbleSort {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int arr[] = {64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90};
BubbleSort client=new BubbleSort();
int[] result=client.bubbleSort(arr);
for(int i:result)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
}
public int[] bubbleSort(int[] arr)
{
int n=arr.length;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<n-i-1;j++)

swap(arr,j,j+1);

return arr;
}
private int[] swap(int[] arr, int i, int j) {
int temp=arr[i];
arr[i]=arr[j];
arr[j]=temp;
return arr;
}

Stack<Integer> primaryStack = new Stack<>();
Stack<Integer> secondaryStack = new Stack<>();
int lastIndex = elements.length - 1;
for (int element : elements) {
primaryStack.push(element);
} // Now all the input elements are in primaryStack
// Do the bubble sorting
for (int i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0) sort(elements, i, primaryStack, secondaryStack, lastIndex);
else sort(elements, i, secondaryStack, primaryStack, lastIndex);
}
}
private static void sort(int[] elements, int i, Stack<Integer> stackA, Stack<Integer> stackB, int lastIndex) {
while (!stackA.isEmpty()) { // Move an element from stack A to stack B
int element = stackA.pop();
if (stackB.isEmpty() || element >= stackB.peek()) { // Don't swap, just push
stackB.push(element);
} else { // Swap, then push
int temp = stackB.pop();
stackB.push(element);
stackB.push(temp);
}
}
elements[lastIndex - i] = stackB.pop();
}
