Comparison Sort
A comparison sort is a type of sorting algorithm that only reads the list elements through a single abstract comparison operation (often a "less than or equal to" operator or a three-way comparison) that determines which of two elements should occur first in the final sorted list. The only requirement is that the operator forms a total preorder over the data, with: # if ''a'' ≤ ''b'' and ''b'' ≤ ''c'' then ''a'' ≤ ''c'' (transitivity) # for all ''a'' and ''b'', ''a'' ≤ ''b'' or ''b'' ≤ ''a'' ( connexity). It is possible that both ''a'' ≤ ''b'' and ''b'' ≤ ''a''; in this case either may come first in the sorted list. In a stable sort, the input order determines the sorted order in this case. Comparison sorts studied in the literature are "comparison-based". Elements ''a'' and ''b'' can be swapped or otherwise re-arranged by the algorithm only when the order between these elements has been established based on the outcomes of prior comparisons. This is the case when ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
