I am trying to implement a step counter into my bubble sort algorithm, but I don't know how to display the counter at the end of the sorting algorithm. If anyone could explain how I should go about this that would be great. Thank You.
My current code: (Bubble Sort):
static int[] bubbleSort(int[] arr, int n)
{
int stepCount = 0; // <- Counter to return and display
for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < n - 1 - i; j++)
{
if (arr[j + 1] < arr[j])
{
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j + 1];
arr[j + 1] = temp;
}
stepCount++;
}
}
return arr;
}
public static void DisplayArrayBubble(int[] arr)
{
foreach (int i in arr)
{
Console.Write(i.ToString() + " ");
}
}
Why not just return int - number of steps? I.e.
// arr : will be sorted
// return : number of steps
static int bubbleSort(int[] arr) {
if (null == arr)
return 0;
int stepCount = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length - 1; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < arr.Length - 1 - i; j++)
if (arr[j + 1] < arr[j]) {
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j + 1];
arr[j + 1] = temp;
stepCount += 1;
}
return stepCount;
}
Demo:
int[] sample = new int[] {1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 7};
int steps = bubbleSort(sample);
Console.WriteLine($"Sorted [{string.Join(", ", sample)}] in {steps} steps");
Outcome:
Sorted [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7] in 6 steps
There a plethora of ways but one is to make a custom class to hold both pieces of information that you need:
public class BubbleObject
{
public int[] arr { get; set; }
public int stepCount { get; set; }
}
Then adjust the code you have to use that object:
static BubbleObject bubbleSort(int[] arr, int n)
{
int stepCount = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < n - 1 - i; j++)
{
if (arr[j + 1] < arr[j])
{
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j + 1];
arr[j + 1] = temp;
}
stepCount++;
}
}
BubbleObject bo = new BubbleObject() { arr=arr, stepCount=stepCount}
return bo;
}
public static void DisplayArrayBubble(BubbleObject bo)
{
Console.WriteLine("Number of Steps = " + bo.stepCount);
foreach (int i in bo.arr)
{
Console.Write(i.ToString() + " ");
}
}
That should do it. There are other ways as well.
I have been given this task to solve:
Write a program that reads an array of integers and removes from it a minimal number of elements in such a way that the remaining array is sorted in increasing order. Print the minimal number of elements that need to be removed in order for the array to become sorted.
Time limit 0.1sec.
Sample test:
Input:
1,
4,
3,
3,
6,
3,
2,
3
Output:
3
Unfortunately, my program is slower. This is my code:
using System;
static bool CheckAscending(List<int> list)
{
bool ascending = true;
for (int i = 0; i < list.Count - 1; i++)
{
if (list[i] > list[i + 1])
{
ascending = false;
}
}
return ascending;
}
static void Main()
{
int n;
n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
List<int> arr = new List<int>();
List<int> sorted = new List<int>();
int maxSubsetLenght = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
arr.Add(int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()));
}
for (int i = 1; i <= (int)Math.Pow(2, n) - 1; i++)
{
int tempSubsetLenght = 0;
List<int> temp = new List<int>();
for (int j = 1; j <= n; j++)
{
if (((i >> (j - 1)) & 1) == 1)
{
temp.Add(arr[j - 1]);
tempSubsetLenght++;
}
}
if ((tempSubsetLenght > maxSubsetLenght) && (CheckAscending(temp)))
{
sorted = temp;
maxSubsetLenght = tempSubsetLenght;
}
}
Console.WriteLine(n - sorted.Count);
}
Can someone help me to make my program a bit faster. I will be glad if you could answer in the near future.
Ok I found how to soleve it and thanks #Gabor for your help :). Here is my solution:
using System;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
List<int> numbers = new List<int>();
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
int currentNumber = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
numbers.Add(currentNumber);
}
int[] size = new int[numbers.Count];
// Define each number as subsequence.
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.Count; i++)
{
size[i] = 1;
}
int max = 1;
// Compare current number with the numbers before.
for (int i = 1; i < numbers.Count; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
{
if (numbers[i] >= numbers[j] && size[i] <= size[j] + 1)
{
size[i] = size[j] + 1;
// Update max increasing subsequence.
if (max < size[i])
{
max = size[i];
}
}
}
}
// Print numbers to remove as a result.
int numbersToRemove = n - max;
Console.WriteLine(numbersToRemove);
}
I think it would be helpful for other people, who have the same task to do like me.
UPDATE #2
When there is a decrease then we should delete not only the current number but all the numbers before which are more than the new minValue.
The Stopwatch is in the System.Diagnostic namespace.
// int?[] numbers = new int?[] { 8, 1, 4, 3, 3, 6, 3, 2, 3 };
int?[] numbers = new int?[] { -7, -7, -7, -100, -100, -99, 4, -90, -80, -70 };
Console.WriteLine("Array: [{0}]", String.Join(", ", numbers));
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch watch = new Stopwatch();
watch.Start();
int minValue = Int32.MinValue;
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.Length - 1; i++)
{
var currentNumber = numbers[i];
var nextNumber = numbers[i + 1];
if (currentNumber > nextNumber)
{
if (nextNumber < minValue)
{
numbers[i + 1] = null;
}
else
{
minValue = nextNumber.Value;
for (int j = i; j >= 0; j--)
{
if (numbers[j] > minValue)
{
numbers[j] = null;
}
}
}
}
}
watch.Stop();
Console.WriteLine("Result: {0}; Time: {1} ms", numbers.Count(number => number == null), watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
Console.WriteLine("Array: [{0}]", String.Join(", ", numbers));
I want to sort this row:
5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3
Here is my code:
int[] a = new int[] { 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3 };
int i, j, key;
for (i = 1; i < 6; i++)
{
key = a[i];
j = i - 1;
while (j >= 0 && key < a[j])
{
a[j + 1] = a[j];
j--;
}
a[j + 1] = key;
}
var result = string.Empty;
for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",",a[i]));
//Console.WriteLine(string.Concat(a[i], ","));
}
Console.ReadKey();
I want to print the comma separated output value like below
1,2,3,4,5,6
Can anyone help me out?
You were almost there in getting your output the way you want it.
The String.Join method takes as a second parameter an array, so you can directly pass it your a without the for loop:
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", a));
try,
int[] a = new int[] { 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3 };
int i, j, key;
var result = string.Empty;
for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
for (j = i+1; j < 6; j++)
{
if (a[i] > a[j])
{
key = a[i];
a[i] = a[j];
a[j] = key;
}
}
result += a[i].ToString() + ((i == 5) ? "" : ",");
}
Console.WriteLine( result);
Console.ReadKey();
You also can try this way:
for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
Console.Write(a[i].ToString());
if(i < 5)
Console.Write(",");
else
Console.WriteLine();
}
I was just asking if there is a simple way of doing this.
i.e. Replacing two consecutive cell with one cell having different value.
For ex: - if my array =[0,3,1,2,3,4], and i want to replace index 0,and 1 with the value 5
to become like this array=[5,1,2,3,4]
Can you guys suggest some simple way for doing this.
i do this code but there is something wrong:
int J = 0;
if (max != 1)
{
for (int iii = 0; iii < output.Length -1; iii++)
{
if ((output[iii] == imax) && (output[iii + 1] == jmax))
{
temp = temp + 1;
output[J] = Convert.ToByte(temp);
J = J + 1;
iii = iii + 1;
}
else
{
output[J] = output[iii];
J = J + 1;
output[J] = output[iii + 1];
}
}
}
because when i want to check the 2 consecutive index ,i want to pass them to the anther 2 index
If you care about performance you want to do as little operations that can harm performance. Try this extension method:
public static int[] ReplaceConsecutiveCells(this int[] array, int startIndex, int replaceWith)
{
int[] targetArray = new int[array.Length - 1];
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
if (i < startIndex)
{
targetArray[i] = array[i];
}
else if (i == startIndex)
{
targetArray[i] = replaceWith;
}
else if (i == startIndex + 1)
{
// no action
}
else
{
targetArray[i - 1] = array[i];
}
}
return targetArray;
}
Use it like this:
array = array.ReplaceConsecutiveCells(0, 5);
int[] array = new int[] { 0, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
List<int> list = array.ToList();
list.RemoveRange(0,2);
list.Insert(0, 5);
array = list.ToArray();
Yet another variant
int[] array = new int[] { 0, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
Array.Reverse(array);
Array.Resize(ref array, 5);
Array.Reverse(array);
array[0] = 5;
do
{
RNG_NXT =RNG +1;
for (int iii = 0; iii <Nold -1; iii++)
{
if ((output[iii] == imax) && (output[iii + 1] == jmax))
{
output[J] = Convert.ToByte(RNG_NXT);
J = J + 1;
iii = iii + 1;
}
else
{
output[J] = output[iii];
J = J + 1;
}
}
RNG++;
}
while( RNG < RNG_MAX) ;
int[] arr = {800,11,50,771,649,770,240, 9};
int temp = 0;
for (int write = 0; write < arr.Length; write++)
{
for (int sort = 0; sort < arr.Length - 1; sort++)
{
if (arr[sort] > arr[sort + 1])
{
temp = arr[sort + 1];
arr[sort + 1] = arr[sort];
arr[sort] = temp;
}
}
Console.Write("{0} ", arr[write]);
}
All I am attempting to do is a simple bubble sort with this array. I would like to figure out why the sorting is screwed up.
In example, here is when the array is {800,11,50,771,649,770,240, 9}:
Here is what gets displayed: 11, 50, 649, 9, 649, 770, 771, 800
I am thinking that I might be missing something in the comparison.
No, your algorithm works but your Write operation is misplaced within the outer loop.
int[] arr = { 800, 11, 50, 771, 649, 770, 240, 9 };
int temp = 0;
for (int write = 0; write < arr.Length; write++) {
for (int sort = 0; sort < arr.Length - 1; sort++) {
if (arr[sort] > arr[sort + 1]) {
temp = arr[sort + 1];
arr[sort + 1] = arr[sort];
arr[sort] = temp;
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
Console.Write(arr[i] + " ");
Console.ReadKey();
This one works for me
public static int[] SortArray(int[] array)
{
int length = array.Length;
int temp = array[0];
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
for (int j = i+1; j < length; j++)
{
if (array[i] > array[j])
{
temp = array[i];
array[i] = array[j];
array[j] = temp;
}
}
}
return array;
}
public static void BubbleSort(int[] a)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= a.Length - 1; ++i)
for (int j = 0; j < a.Length - i; ++j)
if (a[j] > a[j + 1])
Swap(ref a[j], ref a[j + 1]);
}
public static void Swap(ref int x, ref int y)
{
int temp = x;
x = y;
y = temp;
}
int[] arr = { 800, 11, 50, 771, 649, 770, 240, 9 };
int temp = 0;
for (int write = 0; write < arr.Length; write++)
{
for (int sort = 0; sort < arr.Length - 1 - write ; sort++)
{
if (arr[sort] > arr[sort + 1])
{
temp = arr[sort + 1];
arr[sort + 1] = arr[sort];
arr[sort] = temp;
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++) Console.Write(arr[i] + " ");
Console.ReadKey();
I saw someone use this example as part of a job application test. My feedback to him was that it lacks an escape from the outer loop when the array is mostly sorted.
consider what would happen in this case:
int[] arr = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8};
here's something that makes more sense:
int[] arr = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8};
int temp = 0;
int loopCount=0;
bool doBreak=true;
for (int write = 0; write < arr.Length; write++)
{
doBreak=true;
for (int sort = 0; sort < arr.Length - 1; sort++)
{
if (arr[sort] > arr[sort + 1])
{
temp = arr[sort + 1];
arr[sort + 1] = arr[sort];
arr[sort] = temp;
doBreak=false;
}
loopCount++;
}
if(doBreak){ break; /*early escape*/ }
}
Console.WriteLine(loopCount);
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++) Console.Write(arr[i] + " ");
public static int[] BubbleSort(int[] arr)
{
int length = arr.Length();
while (length > 0)
{
int newLength = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < length; i++)
{
if (arr[i - 1] > arr[i])
{
Swap(ref arr[i - 1], ref arr[i]);
newLength = i;
}
}
length = newLength;
}
}
public static void Swap(ref int x, ref int y)
{
int temp = y;
y = x;
x = temp;
}
I wanted to add to the accepted answer something different:
Number of iterations can be reduced as well, as below.
int[] arr = { 800, 11, 50, 771, 649, 770, 240, 9 };
int temp = 0;
int arrLength = arr.Length;
for (int write = 0; write < arr.Length - 1; write++, arrLength--)
{
for (int sort = 0; sort < arrLength - 1; sort++)
{
if (arr[sort] > arr[sort + 1])
{
temp = arr[sort + 1];
arr[sort + 1] = arr[sort];
arr[sort] = temp;
}
}
}
foreach (var item in arr)
{
Console.WriteLine(item);
}
Your Console.Write("{0} ", arr[write]); is too early. You're printing the values while the sort is still in progress. For example, you're printing 9 as being index 3 in the array, yet on the very next iteration of the loop the 9 has moved to index 2 and 240 has moved to index 3... yet you're outer loop has moved forward so it prints 649 the second time and 240 never gets printed.
int[] array = new int[10] { 13, 2, 5, 8, 23, 90, 41, 4, 77, 61 };
for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 9; j++)
{
if (array[j] > array[j + 1])
{
int temp = array[j];
array[j] = array[j + 1];
array[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
static bool BubbleSort(ref List<int> myList, int number)
{
if (number == 1)
return true;
for (int i = 0; i < number; i++)
{
if ((i + 1 < number) && (myList[i] > myList[i + 1]))
{
int temp = myList[i];
myList[i] = myList[i + 1];
myList[i + 1] = temp;
}
else
continue;
}
return BubbleSort(ref myList, number - 1);
}
Just another example but with an outter WHILE loop instead of a FOR:
public static void Bubble()
{
int[] data = { 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };
bool newLoopNeeded = false;
int temp;
int loop = 0;
while (!newLoopNeeded)
{
newLoopNeeded = true;
for (int i = 0; i < data.Length - 1; i++)
{
if (data[i + 1] < data[i])
{
temp = data[i];
data[i] = data[i + 1];
data[i + 1] = temp;
newLoopNeeded = false;
}
loop++;
}
}
}
Bubble sort with sort direction -
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var input = new[] { 800, 11, 50, 771, 649, 770, 240, 9 };
BubbleSort(input);
Array.ForEach(input, Console.WriteLine);
Console.ReadKey();
}
public enum Direction
{
Ascending = 0,
Descending
}
public static void BubbleSort(int[] input, Direction direction = Direction.Ascending)
{
bool swapped;
var length = input.Length;
do
{
swapped = false;
for (var index = 0; index < length - 1; index++)
{
var needSwap = direction == Direction.Ascending ? input[index] > input[index + 1] : input[index] < input[index + 1];
if (needSwap)
{
var temp = input[index];
input[index] = input[index + 1];
input[index + 1] = temp;
swapped = true;
}
}
} while (swapped);
}
}
This is what I wrote using recursive methods:
public static int[] BubbleSort(int[] input)
{
bool isSorted = true;
for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; i++)
{
if (i != input.Length - 1 && input[i] > input[i + 1])
{
isSorted = false;
int temp = input[i];
input[i] = input[i + 1];
input[i + 1] = temp;
}
}
return isSorted ? input : BubbleSort(input);
}
It does the same in a more elegant way.
var arrayValues = new[] { 99, 12, 11, 300, 400, 10, 9, 3, 6, 5, 7, 8};
for (var mainLoop = 0; mainLoop < arrayValues.Length; mainLoop++)
{
for (var innerLoop = mainLoop + 1; innerLoop < arrayValues.Length; innerLoop++)
{
if (arrayValues[mainLoop] <= arrayValues[innerLoop])
{
continue;
}
var temp = arrayValues[mainLoop];
arrayValues[mainLoop] = arrayValues[innerLoop];
arrayValues[innerLoop] = temp;
}
}
So i did mine as a recursive function (no need for the nested loop), perhaps someone could comment if this is inefficient (when compared to the other solutions).
public static int[] BubbleSort(int[] arrayOfValues)
{
var swapOccurred = false;
for (var i = 0; i < arrayOfValues.Length; i++)

continue;
if (arrayOfValues[i] > arrayOfValues[i + 1])
{
//swap values
var current = arrayOfValues[i];
var next = arrayOfValues[i + 1];
arrayOfValues[i] = next;
arrayOfValues[i + 1] = current;
swapOccurred = true;
}
}

// keep going until no further swaps are required:
