Oh, so you want to learn how to sort arrays in PHP. But, did I tell you that PHP has inbuilt sorting functions. Well, I’ve now! So this post will not be anything but discussion on those sorting functions. Let’s look at them without wasting any more time. sort() Function This function, as the name suggest can be used to sort single dimensional arrays in ascending order. PHP is intelligent enough to also sort string arrays very well besides numerical arrays. $ar=array(1,11,38,65,2,99); sort($ar); //gives array(6) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(11) [2]=> //     int(38) [3]=> int(56) [4]=> int(65) [5]=> int(99) } The optional second a

Example of System.Collections namespace in ArrayList The System.Collections namespace contains interfaces and classes that define various collections of objects, such as lists, queues, bit arrays, hash tables and dictionaries. Arraylist is one of the basic collection; it implements the IList interface using an array whose size is dynamically increased as required Imports System.Collections Sub Main() Dim aList As New ArrayList Dim arStr() As String = {"Apple", "Aaron", "Byron", "Reddy"} aList.AddRange(arStr) For Each aLis As String In aList Console.WriteLine(aLis) Next Console.WriteLine() ‘Sort Array aList.Sort() For Each aLis As String In aList Console.WriteLine(aL

In a selectionsort of n elements, how many times is the swap function called in the complete execution of the algorithm? A. 1 B. n - 1 C. n log n D. n^22 .Selectionsort and quicksort both fall into the same category of sorting algorithms. What is this category? * A. O(n log n) sorts * B. Divide-and-conquer sorts * C. Interchange sorts * D. Average time is quadratic.3 . Suppose that a selectionsort of 100 items has completed 42 iterations of the main loop. How many items are now guaranteed to be in their final spot (never to be moved again)? * A. 21 * B. 41 * C. 42 * D. 434 .Suppose we are sorting an array of ten integers using a some quadratic sorting algorithm. After four iterations of the algorithm's main loop, the array elements are ordered as shown here: 1 2 3 4 5 0 6 7 8

When all the elements are equalThe ones who are familiar with QuickSort as also well aware of the important phase of the algorithm-the pivot selection.Suppose we always choose the middle element as the pivot .Does this make it unlikely that QuickSort will require quadratic time?What is the worst-case behavior (number of comparisons) for quick sort?In selecting the pivot for QuickSort, which is the best choice for optimal partitioning: a.The first element of the array b.The last element of the array c.The middle element of the array d.The largest element of the array e.The median of the array f.Any of the aboveIn its worst case QuickSort behaves like: a.Bubble sort b.Se

MergeSortMergesort is one of the beautiful examples of recursion.It runs in O(NlogN) time.The fundamental operation involved in this algorithm is merging 2 sorted lists.This can be done in one pass through the 2 lists if the output is a third list.Conceptually, merge sort works as follows:1. Divide the unsorted list into two sublists of about half the size2. Divide each of the two sublists recursively until we have list sizes of length 1, in which case the list itself is returned3. Merge the two sorted sublists back into one sorted list.The crucial step determining the complexity of the algorithm is the merge .In merge,we start of with 2 sorted sub arrays A,B and an output array C in to which the sorted union of A,B has to be copied.Let Aptr,Bptr and Cptr be the 3 counters set to the begin

Insertion Sort Any basic sorting algorithm which uses comparison of elements involves a number of inversions to be made to the given array to sort it.An Inversion in an array of numbers is any ordered pair (i,j) such that(a[i] - a[j] )*( i - j) .Pseudo Codevoid InsertionSort(int A[],int N){ int pos,i; int temp; for(pos=1; pos { temp=A[pos]; for(j=pos;j>0;j--) { if(A[j-1] > temp) { A[j]=A[j-1]; } else { break; } A[j]=temp; } }}Analysis of Insertion Sort:The efficiency of insertion sort depends upon the distribution of the data.This is because insertion sort tries to put each of the elements in the sorted array of preceding elements.If the array is pre

Online life insurance cover gives customers a great opportunity to more efficiently sort through life insurance products and price premiums. While life insurance is general protection for survivors of the covered individual, the benefits and terms of coverage can vary greatly from one provider and one product to the next. Costs for insurance can also vary greatly based on health characteristics of the covered individual and personal life habits and behaviors. There are several important elements of protection customers must consider when sorting through online life insurance options. Obviously, the amount of coverage is a key consideration. Many people want to be sure they provide enough protection to care for their family in the event of death. Along with having the right amount of covera

Sorting arrays in VBScript has never been easy; that’s because VBScript doesn’t have a sort command of any kind. In turn, that always meant that VBScript were forced to write their own sort routines, be that a bubble sort, a heap sort, a quicksort, or some other type of sorting algorithm. But that was before the advent of the .NET Framework. If you have the .NET Framework installed on your computer then you can sort an array using code no more complicated than this:

Heapsort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm, and is part of the selection sort family. Although somewhat slower in practice on most machines than a good implementation of quicksort, it has the advantage of a worst-case O(n log n) runtime. Heapsort is an in-place algorithm, but is not a stable sort.

Quicksort in action on a list of random numbers. The horizontal lines are pivot values.Quicksort is a well-known sorting algorithm developed by C. A. R. Hoare that, on average, makes (big O notation) comparisons to sort n items.

I spent Earth Hour last weekend sorting through six months' worth of photos on hubby's computer. I still don't know if the embargo on electricity was supposed to include screens as well as lights; I do know that after grumbling all week about the absurdity of the whole idea ("How does sitting in the dark for one hour equate to making 'a big difference'?"), this was a surprisingly compliant way

Operator Like digunakan dalam sebuah SQL Statement untuk mencari sebuah nilai dalam sebuah table yang mempunyai pola string atau karakter tertentu. operator Like ini ditempatkan setelah klausa where dalam sebuah SQL Statement. perbedaan antara operator Like dengan operator '=' adalah, operator '=' tidak bisa digunakan untuk mencari sebuah nilai yang tidak kita ketahui sebelumnya. Operator Like ini biasa digunakan bersama dengan karakter '%' (Percent), '*' (Asterisk), '_' (Underscore), '?' (Quatation Marks),'#' (Number Sign),'-' (Hyphen),'[]' (Brackets) dan karakter '!' (Exclamation Point). Disini saya hanya akan membahas penggunaan Operator Like bersama dengan karakter '%', '*', '_' dan karakter '?'. Adapun fungsi dari pengunaan masing-masing karakter tersebut adalah sebagai berikut : K

Months ago, I did a sorting list page to learn and practise my PHP programming. It has been shifted to http://sillydumb.com/tools/sortlist and it is now version 1.3 with extra features like sorting accordingly to string or numeric, and sort reversely.Therefore, now you can use it to sort in two ways, for example:(By string)1 - Wilson is a pig22 - Ruoci laughs non-stop3 – Mingfa is desert penguin(By numeric)1 - Wilson is a pig3 – Mingfa is desert penguin22 - Ruoci laughs non-stop SiLlYDuMb @ http://sillydumb.com

In JavaScript whenever you want to sort an array it gets sorted alphabetically. This means that numbers are sorted on the basis of the first digit occurring in number system(1 - 9) and not by comparing the value. So if i want to sort an array having values 10,12,11,20,2,25,30 gets sorted to 10,12,11,20,2,25,30 using inbuilt [...]

Some time ago I had to deal with sorting algorithms. Besides my main task I found a good way how to test custom sorting algorithms. This blog entry is one of early birds, more about sorting algorihtms is coming soon. Hopefully some time after TechEd 2007 for Developers. The procedure I wrote to test sorting algorithms is simple and works. Of course, I am always opened for better ideas if somebody wants to suggest some. Here's the little overview about what I've done. Is array sorted? At first, let's look at method that checks if array is sorted or not. To make things simpler I expect that all members in array implement IComparable interface. This expectation has very strong point: it is easy to compare objects of classes that have comparison operators defined but it is

A new article by Dani Vainstein is available - Sorting Arrays (part 1)! You can automate projects for so long before you come across a sorting problem. Maybe it's a list of potential values that needs to be read into the script, maybe it's a list of users that has to be taken from the DB, or maybe it's your plain old output compare validation - no matter what the specifics are, you come to a point where you're gonna need to use a good sorting algorithm to pull it off. My experience tends to be frustrating around this point - it seems that even though there are countless sort and search resources on the web, they are either too theoretical and academic (and hence useless for my immediate needs), or practical - but in a different syntax (e.g. C++, .Java, etc.). Either way, they are useless to the QTP programmer who needs a solution HERE and NOW. Well, No more! From now on you can get an immediate (though deep) solutions to all your sort problems.

Could you tell me the fastest sorting algorithm? I am using Hypercard. I need to sort fields that are about 125 entries in length. I am using an algorithm that I think is called boolean. Is there a faster method? Right now it takes about 7-8 minutes to sort on a Mac Classic 2. If you could explain the principle behind the algorithm I think I could extrapolate the code into hypertalk.An entire chapter of NUMERICAL RECIPES is devoted to sorting algorithms. The authors say that the "straight insertion" method is adequate for small (a ) { arr[i+1] = arr[i]; i--; } arr[i+1] = a; } /* end for loop */An added caveat: the C code in NUMERICAL RECIPES assume that array indices start at 1 NOT 0 !!Response #: 2 of 2Author: Clayton S. FernerText: The fastest sorting algorithm depends on what you are sorting. But, in general, quicksort and heapsort are about the fastest you can do. Insertion sort is efficient for small lists, but quicksort and heapsort will out perfor

There is a new and improved sorting quiz:Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?It's much less obvious than others we've done. I found it in a loopy way.Looking at the Ambleside Online curriculum I noticed one of our favorite history books is now at LibriVox. The reader has a blog that seems pretty cool. Her blog had the quiz, along with a nice Ravenclaw bag pattern she got from Quietish. I'm sure the kids are going to want Griffindor bags. Looks like I might be learning Fairisle knitting! How might one translate it into crochet? It would be faster and more sturdy. It's an idea.I'm loving the whole Librivox thing...hey kids, come listen to school!Trying to find peace with Sonlight, unschooling and Ambleside is proving a challenge. How do I make this work? Is making it work part of the problem? We probably need to start with writing down our goals and desires, T, me, the kids, and then go from there and see which thing fits each idea best. It's more work at the outset, but w

Do you know how a 2D array is stored in the memory while the memory is only one-dimensional? The answer is simple, all the arrays are stored linearly in the memory, be it 2D array or 3D, only the representation is such that to make it easy to reference. Therefore, if a two-dimensional array has the following elements: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 in the memory, it will be like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 just because memory is linear, and cannot have dimensions. It is the language that represents 2 D arrays as such while in the memory it is always linear. This property of 2D arrays will be used to sort them, because sorting linear data is much easier. We don’t need much discussion on this, so here is the example program, please read the comments where all things are elaborated // --Sorting Program-- // ------------------- // Example Program to sort // 2D array using linear // representation of the array #include<iostream.h> #define MAX 3 void main(void

I thought I should be able to receive my funds into my PayPal account successfully but not until when I was about to receive funds for writing reviews at Review Column which I am hired as a reviewer. I can't seem to receive any incoming funds because PayPal now needed a "verified by a credit card account" to receive funds for a Malaysian.

A notable origin of unwanted waste comes from excess food that we simply throw in the trash bin. While the effort alone is a key factor adhering towards placing garbage in its place, the overlooked aspect of how spoiled food may turn into adding more problems as far as waste problems is concerned should also be checked out. Food will decompose at any given time if not placed properly. Food leftovers or spoiled ones should be sorted and left out to be disposed properly.

In this article we will see how an array can be sorted using Bubble Sort Technique. Sorting, as you know, is the method of arranging the elements of an array in an order (ascending or descending). The basic idea behind bubble sort method of sorting is to keep on comparing adjoining elements of the array from the first until the last and interchanging them if they are not in proper order. The whole sequence is repeated several times when the array becomes sorted. Bubble Sort Algorithm Suppose, The array (to be sorted) to be AR[SIZE] having SIZE number of elements. L is the index number of the lower element. We take it to be 0, since the whole array has to be sorted. U is the index number of the upper (last) element. It will be (SIZE-1). Here is the algorithm of sorting the array using bubble sort FOR I = L TO U FOR J = L TO (U-1) IF AR[J] > AR[JA1] THEN temp = AR[J] AR[J] = AR[J+1] END OF INNER LOOP END OF OUTER LOOP Now that you know the algorithm,

Sorting is the process by which the elements of a group (ex. Arrays) are arranged in a specific order (ascending or descending).The process of sorting is very important, since it is needed in many types of programs. Ex. If you need to arrange the heights of various students in a class, you need to sort their heights.While there are quite a few methods employed for sorting, we will be discussing about Selection Sort method in this article.In selection sort, all the elements of an array are compared with the other elements following it and interchanged so that smaller elements come at the top.So, what that means is that the first element is compared with the second, third … elements then the next is selected (second element of the array) and it is compared with the third, fourth … elements and in this way different elements are selected serially and compared with elements following it. Interchange is done so that smaller elements come high up in the array. (for ascending order)To ma

(Disclaimer: If you are new to this blog, please click the tab labeled Read Me First! at the top of the page.) It took me a great while to drum up the courage to dive back into writing a novel. I don’t care what any book tells you; novel writing is a long and arduous process. You can write a first draft in 30 days, but not a ready-to-be-published novel. Taking your idea out of your head and through the entire process can take months, and in most cases, years. After typing the end of my first novel, I put it away for a long time. When I decided to look at it again, the reality that there was still a lot of work to be done set in. I knew then that it was going to be a while before I was ready to start writing another novel. In the interim between novels, I kept myself busy by editing, writing flash fiction and blogging (a great way to keep yourself writing everyday). Now that I’m ready to start again, there are a few things that I have to take into consideration, and sorted o

(Disclaimer: If you are new to this blog, please click the tab Read Me First, located at the top of the page)  Before I get started, I have three potential projects to decide between for my next novel. All of them have pros and cons. Selecting the right project is important because it has to  keep my interest over a long period of time. In the past, I’ve jumped into writing a novel too soon, only to come up dry by the 10.000 word mark. If you are serious about writing a novel, make sure that you are working on something that you love and have a connection to. If you are writing about something just because you think it will sell, you might find yourself having a hard time,  since you really have no investment in it other than to make money*. Make sure it’s something that you believe in. The following is a list of projects that I’m mulling over: The Octagon: This project is the sequel to my first novel, “The God Maker”. The story takes place immediatel

The implications of the Talpiot Tomb is only beginning to sink in for me. On my first blog post I amused myself with the question, What if They Found the Body of Jesus? It never occurred to me that it might actually be possible to find the remains or evidence of the remains of Jesus. I don't know if the Talpiot Tomb was the final burial place for Jesus or his family. I cannot dismiss it out of hand. Knee-jerk reactions seem to me to be based on apologetic concerns. The find whether it goes back to Jesus or not is very likely the major claim of Christian (and Western) history. This is not a hoax. This is not about finding Noah's ark or whatever. This is an actual find. Evidence has been discovered. Whether this evidence is evidence of the burial of Jesus of Nazareth or not is to be determined. The story is complex. How do I sort this out? First of all, I am not simply going to champion someone who is on my side and find an article or blog that dismisses this in

We had a comment from someone who stated he liked the balance of this site as I 'lean' to the right while Indy 'leans' to the left. Our projections really went in a similar direction with my projections showing the Democrats picking up 12 less seats than Indy did. Now when I buzz through what appears to be the final numbers I see that I appear to have missed ten seats (If PA-08 holds on for the challenger) that I called Republican that went Democrat, including an embarrassing four seats that I wasn't even bothering to track. There are few more that are not called and possibly could get wrong, but lean the way I picked. Of those same ten races Indy happened to also miss the four that I was not tracking. He correctly projected the Democrat to win in the other six races. On the flip side, Indy incorrectly projected the Democats would win seven races where the Republicans ended up winning. I correctly projected the winner to the GOP in four while I also missed the other three. If ot
