C :: Sorting Linked List Using Quick Sort
Mar 4, 2014
I am trying to sort a linked list using quick sort in C. Here is my code--Actually, first I am inserting data in the list from a file. For a small file, it's working fine. But for large file it's just not working.
Code:
struct node {
int data;
struct node *link;
struct node *plink;

I've been trying to implement a quick sort algorithm for linked list but when i try to run it with 1000000 values my compiler tells me its running too long and ends up not finishing. However when i run it with 10 values it seems to work fine.
Is there anyway to improve this run time?
Code: struct listnode *quicksort( struct listnode *data ) {
size_t length = 0;
struct listnode *pivNode, *temp = NULL, *low = NULL, *high = NULL, *ltail = NULL, *htail = NULL, *prev = NULL, *end = NULL, *next;
// Get length
for( struct listnode *cursor = data; cursor != NULL; cursor = cursor->next ) {
length++;
}

I'm trying to sort the elements in a linked list which contain a variable amount of data in any given case. In the sample code, the code is more static, but I plan on adding it to much more dynamic code once I have it figured out. My main problem is that I am not sure how to sort the linked list while still keeping the correct pointers to the nodes. I thought about writing my own custom quick sort instead of using the C-standard library function, but how I would keep the pointers to the next nodes correct eluded me. Here is my code so far :
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>

My whole code is included below, although what is really important to me is only the first two functions, the quicksort and the partition...Whenever I build this program, it keeps returning an error for the calling of the partition function, citing that the first variable is in an improper format... I don't know why it's not working though..
Whole Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
template <class T>
void quicksort(T arr[], int start, int end)

I'm tinkering with a serial quick sort algorithm. Normally I use qsort() but I wanted to test this.
Somehow I loose the highest number. I can't see where I drop it.
Code:
// function to quicksort, leave them in front of qsort.
void swap(float_t *left, float_t *right){
float_t temp;
temp = *left;
*left = *right;
*right = temp;

I know how some parts of sorting linklist works but not all of it what does the rest of the code do
Code:

#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
struct linklist {

I know how to add a node and delete a node from the beginning and from the end of the List. Now I want to sort the List by Age. I tried everything but there must be a very little mistake that I can't find. Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Node {
char name[20];
int age;
double height;

I am having some problem with my quick sort problem. My program is supposed to create 5 arrays with 5,10,15,and 20 random integers, respectively. Then it should sort those arrays, where the numbers are bigger or smaller than the middle element in the original array! The program I wrote should do that but, its not! The program just keeps running infinitely!
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void p(int k[],int left, int right) {
int i = left, j = right;

I have an algorithm and I want to make it as efficient as possible. Basically it just involves putting numbers in order. I have two options, but which one would be more efficient:
1. Using a doubly linked list. Every time a user wants to add a new number, the algorithm will start searching the correct place for the number from the beginning of the list. This is efficient per se, but once there are about a million numbers and a number has to be put in at the end of the list, the algorithm must go through all the 999 999 numbers before it.
2. Using a container to store all the numbers first, then sorting the numbers. In this case, adding all the numbers is fast, but the actual sorting will take a long time.
Which option would be more efficient? I was thinking of using maybe merge sort or quick sort in option 2. Yes, I'm aware I could just use vector and sort, but that's not my goal here.

I am at a lost of how to sort names in alphabetical order after having the user input them into a linked list. I manage to create a program that did have the person input names into the linked list and when it is printed it displays the names in the order of how the user inputted the names.
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <string>

I have two arrays of characters that I want to combine and sort according to an internal variable (init) using a forward-iterating linked list. The two arrays must stay separated, as one of the arrays (the enemies) is contained within the object (encounter), the other is passed in via pointers (the players). The array inside the object will be destroyed later (when the encounter is over and the enemies are hopefully dead) while the one that is passed in must survive to be passed into other objects at a later time (the next encounter). My thought is to sort each array by linked list separately first, then iterate through and combine the two lists, But how to do this and no support IRL.
// DECLARATION OF CLASSES //
class character{
public:
character(); // Constructor

While I know that linked lists seem to be a fairly common problem area among beginner C programmers, most examples that I have come across abstract the sorting of a linked list to a separate function which is sadly not what I am trying to do.
The code below is my attempt to have the nodes inserted into their correct place so that once all nodes have been inserted they are already in a sorted order.
Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct node_t* dict_head;
struct node_t* traversor;
struct node_t* newnode;
int list_size = 0, insert_key, search_key, delete_key, x;
char insert_word[WORDLEN];
/*Opening the dictionary file provided by the command line argument */
FILE *fp;
fp = fopen(argv[1], "r");
[Code]....
The problem is as follows. When you provide it with input in which the first word scanned is any other word than that which would be placed at the front of the list, it works as intended. For example.
7 world
0 ant
3 kodak
1 best
6 the
2 is
Produces ant -> best->is->kodak->best->world
However, swapping ant and world in the above input gives:
world->best->is->kodak->best->world
In regards to why I have my head node set as a node without a word or a key, it was suggested that I make it so that the first node inserted is set to be the head of the list and then changed as sorting required, yet this caused only additional problems.

Write a program that creates a forward linked list of at least 20 elements, where each element holds a random integer between 0 and 99. Print the list.
Write the function "returnMiddleList" to find the middle element of the linked list in one pass. Print the integer value of this element and the position of this element (starting at zero) in relation to the head (where the head = 0, the element pointed to by the head = 1, the element pointed to by the previous one = 2, etc).
Split the list in half at the middle element to create two entirely separate* linked lists of near equal size (+/- 1) and print the two lists. Modify the "returnMiddleList" function to accomplish this, returning the head of the second linked list and setting the link of the element pointing to that head to null. Then print the two sums of the integers stored in the elements of both lists.
Sort the two lists from least to greatest and print them out (printing at this step is optional depending on the sort approach taken). Then combine the two lists while sorting them again from least to greatest and print out the new list. (HINT: you can subdivide the lists further and sort them on a scale of one to two element lists before sorting and combining the first two unsorted lists. What is this sort called?)
I have got #1 and #2 working, but #3 and #4 is where the issue is beginning. When I split my link list into two lists and print the individual lists out, my first link list prints out 9 numbers when it should be printing out 10 (the 10th number somehow disappears?), but when I do the sum of the first list right after that, the number that has disappeared gets added in the sum! I do not know why it is disappearing, and this is one issue. Another issue is in the second list, a random "0" gets added to the list and one of the numbers is lost. My last issue is about #4 as the merge algorithm I have used does not seem to work (I am merging the list together while sorting them, but I am not using a recursion sort because we have not learned that yet).

This is in response to the bubble sort and selection sorts for linked lists. On my system, (Intel 2600K, 3.4ghz), it sorts a list with 4,194,304 nodes containing 64 bit unsigned integers in about 1.05 seconds.
Code:
#define NUMLISTS 32
/* number of lists */
typedef unsigned long long UI64;
typedef struct NODE_{
struct NODE_ * next;
UI64 data;

I'm trying to apply a bubble sort on a linked list. It works in the first traversal, but then after the code cPtr = nPtr;, it inputs repeated digits at the end of the (semi-sorted) linked lists.

This is in-place merge sort, for merge function.

this->next = NULL;
this->value = value;

I'm having trouble getting my sort function to work,
void Linkedlist::sort(int num)
{
node *q;
node *a;
int input=num;
[Code].....
I get a crash and I've narrowed it down to the last if statement. Also this function is meant to handle new members after 1 member has been added.

I am making a custom linked list (for fun!) and want to implement a sort method that sorts the stored data using the stored types > and < operators (will require the type to have these operators overloaded)
What is the best way to do this? I guess the first thing one might jump to would be to compare the current node with the the node to its "right" see if one is greater than the other. Then keep iterating through the list until you don't swap any more nodes. However I am thinking there is probably a more efficient way to do this. Here is my code so far:
#ifndef LIST_HPP
#define LIST_HPP
#include <string>
[Code].....
Surely there is a way to sort with only one iteration through the list?

I need to sort the Linked list from highest to lowest or in this case. The highest Bribe gets the higher priority on the list. I have looked all over the internet and have found some pretty decent examples but I still don't truly understand how to sort it. I think from looking at so many examples I have confused myself even more. I was reading about using Doubly Linked list but I don't even know if were allowed to use that.
1. The program runs perfectly at the moment. It prints out the list but does not sort it.
2. How to make sure that I am deleting the allocated memory correctly in the deconstructor.

is this correct? I used this sorting with numbers i don't know if it is the same with strings. When I run it, there are no errors detected, but when i try to view it, the inputs does not appear.
void add(node **h, node **t){
node *temp, *ptr;
char s[20];
temp = (node*) malloc(sizeof(node));
printf ("-INSERT-");
printf("Fruit: ");
scanf("%s", temp->fruit);

HelI have been tasked with creating a program which (1) takes in integer values from a user (until the user enters -1) and inputs these values into a linked list. This (2)original list is then to be printed out. The program then uses the algorithm "bubble sort" to (3)order the list in descending order before finally printing it out again.
I have managed to do this but I kind of cheated since I do not quite understand how to manipulate a linked list. What did was I took the values in the linked list and transferred them into an array and then did bubble sort on that array.how to do bubble sort on a linked list as well as how to print a linked list.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>#include<stdlib.h>
typedef struct node
{
int info;
struct node *link;
}Node, *NodePointer;
void printList (NodePointer head)
}
[code]...
