Could you please help identify what sorting method is this?
public static int[] sort(int arr[]) {
int temp1 = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
for (int j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) {
if (arr[j] < arr[i]) {
temp1 = arr[i];
arr[i] = arr[j];
arr[j] = temp1;
}
}
}
return arr;
}
Neither. It is close to selection sort, but makes unnecessary swaps.
Bubble sort makes pair-wise swaps on subsequent elements, until the "lightest" element is at top, like a bubble goes up in fluid.
int unorderedLen = arr.length;
do {
int newUnorderedLen = 0;
// after a cycle, largest element will be at top
for (int i = 1; i < unorderedLen; j++) {
if (arr[i-1] > arr[i]) {
newUnorderedLen = i;
swap(arr, i, i-1);
}
}
unorderedLen = newUnorderedLen;
} while (unorderedLen > 0);
Selection sort searches and selects the place where an element should fit and makes a single swap after.
// at i. cycle, we select i. least element and place at i.
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length-1; i++) {
int minIndex = i;
// search for least element in the remaining unsorted
for (int j = i+1; j < arr.length; j++) {
if (arr[j] < arr[minIndex]) {
minIndex = j;
}
}
if (minIndex != i) {
swap(arr, minIndex, i);
}
}
