.Heap_Sort
is
38 -- We are using the classical heapsort algorithm (i.e. Floyd's Treesort3)
39 -- as described by Knuth ("The Art of Programming", Volume III, first
40 -- edition, section 5.2.3, p. 145-147) with the modification that is
41 -- mentioned in exercise 18. For more details on this algorithm, see
42 -- Robert B. K. Dewar PhD thesis "The use of Computers in the X-ray
43 -- Phase Problem". University of Chicago, 1968, which was the first
44 -- publication of the modification, which reduces the number of compares
45 -- from 2NlogN to NlogN.
47 procedure Sort
(N
: Natural; Xchg
: Xchg_Procedure
; Lt
: Lt_Function
) is
49 -- Current Max index in tree being sifted. Note that we make Max
50 -- Natural rather than Positive so that the case of sorting zero
51 -- elements is correctly handled (i.e. does nothing at all).
53 procedure Sift
(S
: Positive);
54 -- This procedure sifts up node S, i.e. converts the subtree rooted
55 -- at node S into a heap, given the precondition that any sons of
56 -- S are already heaps.
62 procedure Sift
(S
: Positive) is
68 -- This is where the optimization is done, normally we would do a
69 -- comparison at each stage between the current node and the larger
70 -- of the two sons, and continue the sift only if the current node
71 -- was less than this maximum. In this modified optimized version,
72 -- we assume that the current node will be less than the larger
73 -- son, and unconditionally sift up. Then when we get to the bottom
74 -- of the tree, we check parents to make sure that we did not make
75 -- a mistake. This roughly cuts the number of comparisons in half,
76 -- since it is almost always the case that our assumption is correct.
78 -- Loop to pull up larger sons
84 if Lt
(Son
, Son
+ 1) then
95 -- Loop to check fathers
100 if Lt
(Father
, C
) then
109 -- Start of processing for Sort
112 -- Phase one of heapsort is to build the heap. This is done by
113 -- sifting nodes N/2 .. 1 in sequence.
115 for J
in reverse 1 .. N
/ 2 loop
119 -- In phase 2, the largest node is moved to end, reducing the size
120 -- of the tree by one, and the displaced node is sifted down from
121 -- the top, so that the largest node is again at the top.
