#.H2 Description
#.P
#Some Awk implementations come with built in sort routines (e.g. Gawk's asort and asorti functions). But it
#can be useful to code these yourself, especially in you are doing data structure tricks.
#.P
#Quicksort selects a pivot and divides the data into values above and below the pivot. Sorting then
#recurses on these sub-lists.
#.H2 Code
#.H3 Loading the data
#.PRE
#BEGIN { RS = ""; FS = "\n" }
{ A[NR] = $1 }
END {
qsort(A, 1, NR)
for (i = 1; i <= NR; i++) {
print A[i] #+ 0;
#if (i == NR) break
#print ""
}
}
#./PRE
#.H3 Sorting the data
#.PRE
function qsort(A, left, right, i, last) {
if (left >= right)
return
swap(A, left, left+int((right-left+1)*rand()))
last = left
for (i = left+1; i <= right; i++)
{
if (A[i] < A[left])
{
swap(A, ++last, i)
}
}
swap(A, left, last)
qsort(A, left, last-1)
qsort(A, last+1, right)
}
function swap(A, i, j, t) {
t = A[i]; A[i] = A[j]; A[j] = t
