ssorthp
Sort a single-precision floating-point strided array using heapsort.
Usage
var ssorthp = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/ssorthp' );
ssorthp( N, order, x, stride )
Sorts a single-precision floating-point strided array using heapsort.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0 ] );
ssorthp( x.length, 1.0, x, 1 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ -4.0, -2.0, 1.0, 3.0 ]
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- order: sort order. If
order < 0.0
, the input strided array is sorted in decreasing order. Iforder > 0.0
, the input strided array is sorted in increasing order. Iforder == 0.0
, the input strided array is left unchanged. - x: input
Float32Array
. - stride: index increment.
The N
and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to sort every other element
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0 ] );
ssorthp( 2, -1.0, x, 2 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ 3.0, -2.0, 1.0, -4.0 ]
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array
views.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
// Initial array...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
// Create an offset view...
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 );
// Sort every other element...
ssorthp( 2, -1.0, x1, 2 );
// x0 => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 ]
ssorthp.ndarray( N, order, x, stride, offset )
Sorts a single-precision floating-point strided array using heapsort and alternative indexing semantics.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0 ] );
ssorthp.ndarray( x.length, 1.0, x, 1, 0 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ -4.0, -2.0, 1.0, 3.0 ]
The function has the following additional parameters:
- offset: starting index.
While typed array
views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer
, the offset
parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to access only the last three elements of the strided array
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );
ssorthp.ndarray( 3, 1.0, x, 1, x.length-3 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -6.0, -4.0, 5.0 ]
Notes
- If
N <= 0
ororder == 0.0
, both functions return the strided array unchanged. - The algorithm distinguishes between
-0
and+0
. When sorted in increasing order,-0
is sorted before+0
. When sorted in decreasing order,-0
is sorted after+0
. - The algorithm sorts
NaN
values to the end. When sorted in increasing order,NaN
values are sorted last. When sorted in decreasing order,NaN
values are sorted first. - The algorithm has space complexity
O(1)
and time complexityO(N log2 N)
. - The algorithm is unstable, meaning that the algorithm may change the order of strided array elements which are equal or equivalent (e.g.,
NaN
values). - The input strided array is sorted in-place (i.e., the input strided array is mutated).
Examples
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array/filled-by' );
var ssorthp = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/ssorthp' );
var rand = discreteUniform( -100, 100 );
var x = filledarrayBy( 10, 'float32', rand );
console.log( x );
ssorthp( x.length, -1.0, x, -1 );
console.log( x );
