Sorting algorithms/Heapsort
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Sorting Algorithm
This is a sorting algorithm. It may be applied to a set of data in order to sort it.
For comparing various sorts, see compare sorts.

Heapsort is an in-place sorting algorithm with worst case and average complexity of O(n logn). The basic idea is to turn the array into a binary heap structure, which has the property that it allows efficient retrieval and removal of the maximal element. We repeatedly "remove" the maximal element from the heap, thus building the sorted list from back to front. Heapsort requires random access, so can only be used on an array-like data structure.
Pseudocode:
function heapSort(a, count) is input: an unordered array a of length count (first place a in max-heap order) heapify(a, count) end := count - 1 while end > 0 do (swap the root(maximum value) of the heap with the last element of the heap) swap(a[end], a[0]) (put the heap back in max-heap order) siftDown(a, 0, end-1) (decrement the size of the heap so that the previous max value will stay in its proper place) end := end - 1 function heapify(a,count) is (start is assigned the index in a of the last parent node) start := (count - 2) / 2 while start ≥ 0 do (sift down the node at index start to the proper place such that all nodes below the start index are in heap order) siftDown(a, start, count-1) start := start - 1 (after sifting down the root all nodes/elements are in heap order) function siftDown(a, start, end) is input: end represents the limit of how far down the heap to sift. root := start while root * 2 + 1 ≤ end do (While the root has at least one child) child := root * 2 + 1 (root*2+1 points to the left child) (If the child has a sibling and the child's value is less than its sibling's...) if child + 1 ≤ end and a[child] < a[child + 1] then child := child + 1 (... then point to the right child instead) if a[root] < a[child] then (out of max-heap order) swap(a[root], a[child]) root := child (repeat to continue sifting down the child now) else return
Write a function to sort a collection of integers using heapsort.
Ruby
<lang ruby>class Array
def heapsort self.dup.heapsort! end
def heapsort! # in pseudo-code, heapify only called once, so inline it here ((length - 2) / 2).downto(0) {|start| siftdown(start, length - 1)}
# "end" is a ruby keyword (length - 1).downto(1) do |end_| self[end_], self[0] = self[0], self[end_] siftdown(0, end_ - 1) end self end
def siftdown(start, end_) root = start loop do child = root * 2 + 1 break if child > end_ if child + 1 <= end_ and self[child] < self[child + 1] child += 1 end if self[root] < self[child] self[root], self[child] = self[child], self[root] root = child else break end end end
end</lang> Testing:
irb(main):035:0> ary = [7, 6, 5, 9, 8, 4, 3, 1, 2, 0] => [7, 6, 5, 9, 8, 4, 3, 1, 2, 0] irb(main):036:0> p ary.heapsort [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Tcl
Based on the algorithm from Wikipedia:
<lang tcl>package require Tcl 8.5
proc heapsort {list {count ""}} {
if {$count eq ""} {
set count [llength $list]
} for {set i [expr {$count/2 - 1}]} {$i >= 0} {incr i -1} {
siftDown list $i [expr {$count - 1}]
} for {set i [expr {$count - 1}]} {$i > 0} {} {
swap list $i 0 incr i -1 siftDown list 0 $i
} return $list
} proc siftDown {varName i j} {
upvar 1 $varName a while true {
set child [expr {$i*2 + 1}] if {$child > $j} { break } if {$child+1 <= $j && [lindex $a $child] < [lindex $a $child+1]} { incr child } if {[lindex $a $i] >= [lindex $a $child]} { break } swap a $i $child set i $child
}
} proc swap {varName x y} {
upvar 1 $varName a set tmp [lindex $a $x] lset a $x [lindex $a $y] lset a $y $tmp
}</lang> Demo code: <lang tcl>puts [heapsort {1 5 3 7 9 2 8 4 6 0}]</lang> Output:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
