Array.Sort和快速排序

最近测试了一个自己写的快速排序,和System.Array.Sort做了个性能对比,发现System.Array.Sort比自己写的排序算法要快很多,拿20W和1000W随机数来测试效率相差40%左右,结果如下:

ArraySort


快速排序的主要思想就是:将待排序数组以某一个元素为阈值分为两个子列,一个子列包含所有比改阈值小的元素,另一个子列反之。这样只要将这两个子列排好序,整个数组也就排好序了。这里有一个关键的子过程就是划分的过程Partition,一般可以选择数组中任意的元素作为划分阈值,这里选择的是数组中最右端的元素。

Partition使用了二分查找类似的思想:使用两个索引器从数组的两端进行遍历,左边的索引器遇到比阈值大的元素停止,右边的索引器遇到比自己小的元素停止,然后交换这两个元素,依次循环。这样数组就划分为了比该阈值大和小(含等于)两个子列了。


自己写的快速排序:

/// <summary>
/// Swap position
/// </summary>
/// <param name="v"></param>
/// <param name="index1"></param>
/// <param name="index2"></param>
private void Swrap(int[] v, int index1, int index2)
{
    int temp = v[index1];
    v[index1] = v[index2];
    v[index2] = temp;
}
 
/// <summary>
/// Split into left and right sub-table
/// </summary>
private int PivotIndex(int[] v, int first, int last)
{
    if (last == first)
    {
        return last;
    }
    if (last - first == 1)
    {
        return first;
    }
    int mid = (first + last) / 2;
    int midVal = v[mid];
 
    //Swap v[first] v[mid]
    Swrap(v, first, mid);
    int scanA = first + 1;
    int scanB = last - 1;
    for (; ; )
    {
        while (scanA <= scanB && v[scanA] < midVal)
        {
            scanA++;
        }
        while (scanB > first && midVal <= v[scanB])
        {
            scanB--;
        }
        if (scanA >= scanB)
        {
            break;
        }
        Swrap(v, scanA, scanB);
        scanA++;
        scanB--;
    }
    Swrap(v, first, scanB);
    return scanB;
 
}
public void Sort(int[] v, int first, int last)
{
    if (last - first <= 1)
    {
        return;
    }
    if (last - first == 2)
    {
        //Sub-table contains two elements
        if (v[first] > v[last - 1])
        {
            Swrap(v, first, last - 1);
        }
        return;
    }
    else
    {
        int pivotIndex = PivotIndex(v, first, last);
        Sort(v, first, pivotIndex);
        Sort(v, pivotIndex + 1, last);
    }
}

C++

C++ QuickSort

 

测试程序:

static void Main ( string[] args )
{
    Test ( 200000 );
 
    Test ( 10000000 );
 
    Console.Read ();
}
 
static void Test ( int LEN )
{
    Program p = new Program ();
 
    int[] v = new int[LEN]; 
 
    System.Random rd = new Random ();
 
    for ( long i = 0; i < LEN; i++ )
    {
        v[i] = rd.Next ();
    }
 
    int[] v2 = new int[LEN];
 
    for ( long i = 0; i < LEN; i++ )
    {
        v2[i] = v[i];
    }
 
    System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch sw = new System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch ();
    sw.Start ();
 
    p.Sort ( v, 0, v.Length ); /* Test QuickSort */
 
    sw.Stop ();
    long tim1 = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;
 
    sw.Reset ();
 
    sw.Start ();
 
    System.Array.Sort<int> ( v2 ); /* Test Array.Sort */
 
    sw.Stop ();
    long tim2 = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;
 
    //int m = 0;
    //foreach ( int i in v )
    //{
    //    m++;
    //    if (m < 100 )
    //        Console.Write ( i.ToString () + " " );
    //    else break;
    //}
 
    Console.WriteLine ( LEN + " Random Records Test:" + Environment.NewLine +
        "My C# QuickSort     : " + tim1 + "ms" + Environment.NewLine + "MS C# 2.0 Array.Sort: " + tim2 + "ms");
    Console.WriteLine ();
}

 

微软MSDN上对System.Array.Sort的说明:

“Array 中的每个元素均必须实现 IComparable 接口,才能与 array 中的其他所有元素进行比较。 如果排序不能成功地完成,则结果未定义。此方法使用 QuickSort 算法。此实现执行不稳定排序;亦即,如果两元素相等,则其顺序可能不被保留。相反,稳定排序保留相等元素的顺序。 一般情况下,此方法的运算复杂度为 O(n log n),其中 n 是 array 的 Length;最坏的情况下其运算复杂度为 O(n ^ 2)。”

 

结论:

System.Array.Sort其内部使用了大数据量时效率最高的快速排序算法。C#实现的快速排序没有C++的快这一点原因很明显。

System.Array.Sort效率是很高的,没有必要怀疑它,建议使用它。如排序自己的类:Array.Sort<Customer> ( customer, new CustomerComparer () ); //CustomerComparer 实现IComparer接口。代码示例:

using System.Collections.Generic;
 
public class Customer
{
    private string firstName;
 
    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return firstName; }
        set { firstName = value; }
    }
 
    private string secondName;
 
    public string SecondName
    {
        get { return secondName; }
        set { secondName = value; }
    }
 
    public Customer ( string _firstName, string _secondName )
        :this()
    {
        firstName = _firstName;
        secondName = _secondName;
    }
 
    public Customer (){}
}
 
 
public class CustomerComparer : IComparer<Customer>
{
    public int Compare ( Customer c1, Customer c2 )
    {
        if ( c1 == null || c2 == null )
            throw new ArgumentNullException ( "Both objects must not be null" );
 
        return String.Compare ( c1.FirstName, c2.FirstName, true );
    }
}
 
 
static void Main ( string[] args )
{
    Customer c1 = new Customer ( "c", "c" );
    Customer c2 = new Customer ( "b", "b" );
    Customer c3 = new Customer ( "a", "a" );
 
    Customer[] cus = new Customer[] { c1, c2, c3 };
 
    Array.Sort<Customer> ( cus, new CustomerComparer () );
}
