Task

Sort an array of elements using the Shell sort algorithm, a diminishing increment sort.

The Shell sort   (also known as Shellsort or Shell's method)   is named after its inventor, Donald Shell, who published the algorithm in 1959.

Shell sort is a sequence of interleaved insertion sorts based on an increment sequence. The increment size is reduced after each pass until the increment size is 1.

With an increment size of 1, the sort is a basic insertion sort, but by this time the data is guaranteed to be almost sorted, which is insertion sort's "best case".

Any sequence will sort the data as long as it ends in 1, but some work better than others.

Empirical studies have shown a geometric increment sequence with a ratio of about 2.2 work well in practice. [1]

Other good sequences are found at the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.

COBOL

Complete Program

Should work in Cobol/2 too. Picture for array to be sorted is purely fictional, there's no boundary check - hence: be careful! Program will sort any array using standard EBCDIC sequence (won't work properly with signed packed variables). In addition to the "usual" array and array lenght parameters, you need to supply an area (initialized to low-values) to detail row-length and up to 10 sort keys defined as follows: start position (1 based), length and sequence (Ascending/Descending).

Note: This example relies on the supporting procedures 'sortop', and 'demosort' in Bubble Sort. The full demosort exercises the named sort of a list with op = "numeric", "string", ">>" (lexically gt, descending),">" (numerically gt, descending), a custom comparator, and also a string.

This method will sort in place. If you want to preserve your unsorted array, use a copy of the array as an argument to this method. <lang java>public static void shell(int[] a) { int increment = a.length / 2; while (increment > 0) { for (int i = increment; i < a.length; i++) { int j = i; int temp = a[i]; while (j >= increment && a[j - increment] > temp) { a[j] = a[j - increment]; j = j - increment; } a[j] = temp; } if (increment == 2) { increment = 1; } else { increment *= (5.0 / 11); } } }</lang>

jq

Works with: jq version 1.4

Adapted from the #Go entry on this page.

shellSort as defined here can be used to sort an array of arbitrary JSON entities. <lang jq># The "while" loops are implemented using the following jq function:

  1. As soon as "condition" is true, then emit . and stop:

def do_until(condition; next):

 def u: if condition then . else (next|u) end;
 u;
  1. sort the input array

def shellSort:

 length as $length
 | [ ($length/2|floor), .]                          # L1: state: [h, array]
 | do_until( .[0] == 0;
             .[0] as $h
             | reduce range($h; $length) as $i      # L2: state: array
                 ( .[1];
                  .[$i] as $k
                  | [ $i, . ]                       # L3: state: [j, array]
                  | do_until( .[0] < $h or ($k >= .[1][.[0] - $h]);
                              .[0] as $j
                              | [ ($j - $h), (.[1]|setpath([$j]; .[$j - $h])) ] )
                  | .[0] as $j | (.[1]|setpath([$j]; $k))  # i.e. a[j] = $k
                 )
             | [(($h+1)*5/11 | floor), .] )
      | .[1] ;</lang>

Example: <lang jq>([],

[5,null,3,1,2,0,4.4,5]

M2000 Interpreter

Translation of: BBC BASIC

We use & for passing by reference. Variables with % are integers, and can be any type, a double by default with no decimals, or Decimal, Currency, Long, Integer, Float. When we change value, using operators ++ -- += -= /= *= the final value round to integer using 0.5 where 1.5 give 2. So A%=1/2 give A%=1 and A%=-1/2 give A%=-1. A%=Int(1/2) give A%=0, A%=Int(-1/2) give A%=-1 (int is same as floor() and there is ceil() too, and there is a Bank() for bank type rounding)

For Next in M2000 always execute at least one time the code inside (we can change it using a switch, in M2000 environment, to act as in BASIC). From step get the absolute value, and direction get from starting and ending value. So For i=1 to 0 { } execute two times the block with standard switch "-For" or no execute if switch is "+For". A For statement can be as in this example or the faster For { } without Next

Alternatively we can just call a library method.
