IndexSorter

public IndexSorter()

Method Details

sort

public void sort(V vector,
 IntVector indices,
 VectorValueComparator<V> comparator)

Sorts indices, by quick-sort. Suppose the vector is denoted by v. After calling this method, the following relations hold: v(indices[0]) <= v(indices[1]) <= ...

Parameters:

vector - the vector whose indices need to be sorted.

indices - the vector for storing the sorted indices.

comparator - the comparator to sort indices.

partition

public static <T extends ValueVector> int partition(int low,
 int high,
 IntVector indices,
 VectorValueComparator<T> comparator)

Partition a range of values in a vector into two parts, with elements in one part smaller than elements from the other part. The partition is based on the element indices, so it does not modify the underlying vector.

Type Parameters:

T - the vector type.

Parameters:

low - the lower bound of the range.

high - the upper bound of the range.

indices - vector element indices.

comparator - criteria for comparison.

Returns:

the index of the split point.
