what is a quick sort?
116407
Quicksort is a well-known sorting algorithm developed by C. A. R. Hoare that, on average, makes Θ(n log n) comparisons to sort n items. However, in the worst case, it makes Θ(n2) comparisons. Typically, quicksort is significantly faster in practice than other Θ(n log n) algorithms, because its inner loop can be efficiently implemented on most architectures, and in most real-world data it is possible to make design choices which minimize the possibility of requiring quadratic time. Quicksort is a comparison sort and, in efficient implementations, is not a stable sort.\n\nThe algorithm\n-------------\nQuicksort sorts by employing a divide and conquer strategy to divide a list into two sub-lists.\n\nThe steps are:\n\nPick an element, called a pivot, from the list. \nReorder the list so that all elements which are less than the pivot come before the pivot and so that all elements greater than the pivot come after it (equal values can go either way). After this partitioning, the pivot is in its final position. This is called the partition operation. \nRecursively sort the sub-list of lesser elements and the sub-list of greater elements. \nThe base case of the recursion are lists of size zero or one, which are always sorted. The algorithm always terminates because it puts at least one element in its final place on each iteration.\n\nIn simple pseudocode, the algorithm might be expressed as:\n\n function quicksort(q)\n     var list less, pivotList, greater\n     if length(q) ≤ 1  \n         return q  \n     select a pivot value pivot from q\n     for each x in q except the pivot element\n         if x < pivot then add x to less\n         if x ≥ pivot then add x to greater\n     add pivot to pivotList\n     return concatenate(quicksort(less), pivotList, quicksort(greater))

you can do that by sorting the data source from where you are populating the list. Or while you are populating the list.\nIf you can tell me how you are populating, I can give you more pointers. I am not sure if there is any way to sort a list directly in java script.\n\njainnys\nMind Experts Inc.\nhttp://www.mindexp.com

sorting an array of integers\nint []a=new int[10]\na[0]=90;\na[1]=30;\netc sort them by taking two at first then three at first etc

Chronologically, with the most recent ones up front.  Usually, that is the one you have to reach for, and a lot of secondary motions include duplications of prior motions.  You may want to tab off specific motions or paperwork, so those can be grabbed quicker as well.\n\nBut putting them in that order, whenever something new comes in, it just has to be dropped into the front of the file, no additional sorting necessary.

And what is this question about?\n\nFor example, external sorting algorythms was described quite thoroughly in vol.3 of "The Art of Computing Programming" written by Donald Knuth.\n\nIs that enough?

I think your definition of 'quick' might need rethinking!\nSorry, haven't a clue....

It is a misspelling of the word "quick".

pick one, right click and press sort by name.

When you search, it is set to that the ending soonest item is displayed first. If you want to change the order, there is a drop down list just above the search results, and select the order you would like to view your items.\nFor example, cheapest to most expensive

Yes, you can using quick time.

You may have to be more specific.\n\nalgorithm.h is not a standard library, as such it will be impossible to know what kind of code is in it.\n\nThere are numerous sorting algorithms, some more efficient than others.  There's bubble-sort, insertion-sort, heap-sort, quick-sort, etc.  If you're interested in searching and sorting, try doing a google search.\n\nThere is a sort() tool for UNIX systems, but that uses data streams and pipes at the console level, not intended for use inside a program.\n\nIf you want, you can open up algorithm.h and take a look inside.  You won't be able to see what the function definitions are, but at least you can see what parameters it takes.  Also, if you're really lucky ;-) there will be comments in the file describing what kind of sort it uses.  Just do a little detective work, and you can get all the info you need.

A Skip List is essentially a list for storing items in sorted order, of their keys. Each item is stored as a node in the list.

If you are typing the list in Microsoft word then ......\n\nhighlight the whole list\nClick on TABLE up at the top\nYou'll see A-Z Sort tab - click on it\nThat should do it
