is
41 -- We are using the classical heapsort algorithm (i.e. Floyd's Treesort3)
42 -- as described by Knuth ("The Art of Programming", Volume III, first
43 -- edition, section 5.2.3, p. 145-147) with the modification that is
44 -- mentioned in exercise 18. For more details on this algorithm, see
45 -- Robert B. K. Dewar PhD thesis "The use of Computers in the X-ray
46 -- Phase Problem". University of Chicago, 1968, which was the first
47 -- publication of the modification, which reduces the number of compares
48 -- from 2NlogN to NlogN.
50 procedure Sort
(N
: Natural) is
53 -- Current Max index in tree being sifted
55 procedure Sift
(S
: Positive);
56 -- This procedure sifts up node S, i.e. converts the subtree rooted
57 -- at node S into a heap, given the precondition that any sons of
58 -- S are already heaps. On entry, the contents of node S is found
59 -- in the temporary (index 0), the actual contents of node S on
60 -- entry are irrelevant. This is just a minor optimization to avoid
61 -- what would otherwise be two junk moves in phase two of the sort.
63 procedure Sift
(S
: Positive) is
69 -- This is where the optimization is done, normally we would do a
70 -- comparison at each stage between the current node and the larger
71 -- of the two sons, and continue the sift only if the current node
72 -- was less than this maximum. In this modified optimized version,
73 -- we assume that the current node will be less than the larger
74 -- son, and unconditionally sift up. Then when we get to the bottom
75 -- of the tree, we check parents to make sure that we did not make
76 -- a mistake. This roughly cuts the number of comparisions in half,
77 -- since it is almost always the case that our assumption is correct.
79 -- Loop to pull up larger sons
85 if Son
< Max
and then Lt
(Son
, Son
+ 1) then
93 -- Loop to check fathers
98 if Lt
(Father
, 0) then
106 -- Last step is to pop the sifted node into place
111 -- Start of processing for Sort
114 -- Phase one of heapsort is to build the heap. This is done by
115 -- sifting nodes N/2 .. 1 in sequence.
117 for J
in reverse 1 .. N
/ 2 loop
122 -- In phase 2, the largest node is moved to end, reducing the size
123 -- of the tree by one, and the displaced node is sifted down from
124 -- the top, so that the largest node is again at the top.
