我们可以使用二进制搜索来减少普通插入排序中的比较次数。二进制插入排序查找使用二进制搜索来找到适当的位置,以便在每次迭代时插入所选项目。
在普通插入中,排序在最坏的情况下需要O(i)(在第i次迭代中)。我们可以使用二进制搜索将其简化为O(logi)。
C/C++
// C program for implementation of binary insertion sort
#include
// A binary search based function to find the position
// where item should be inserted in a[low..high]
int binarySearch(int a[], int item, int low, int high)
{
if (high <= low)
return (item > a[low])? (low + 1): low;
int mid = (low + high)/2;
if(item == a[mid])
return mid+1;
if(item > a[mid])
return binarySearch(a, item, mid+1, high);
return binarySearch(a, item, low, mid-1);
}
// Function to sort an array a[] of size \'n\'
void insertionSort(int a[], int n)
{
int i, loc, j, k, selected;
for (i = 1; i < n; ++i)
{
j = i - 1;
selected = a[i];
// find location where selected sould be inseretd
loc = binarySearch(a, selected, 0, j);
// Move all elements after location to create space
while (j >= loc)
{
a[j+1] = a[j];
j--;
}
a[j+1] = selected;
}
}
// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
int a[] = {37, 23, 0, 17, 12, 72, 31,
46, 100, 88, 54};
int n = sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]), i;
insertionSort(a, n);
printf("Sorted array: \n");
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
printf("%d ",a[i]);
return 0;
}
