Class HeapSortInt

java.lang.Object
  uk.ac.gla.terrier.sorting.HeapSortInt

public class HeapSortInt
extends java.lang.Object

An implementation of the heap sort algorithm as described in Cormen et al. Introduction to Algorithms. This class sorts two arrays, with respect to the values of the elements in the first array. There is also an option to sort only N entries with the highest values. In this case, there are two options:

• The top N entries can be sorted in ascending order, so that the N elements with the highest values are placed in the array's last N positions (the highest entry of the arrays will be in array[array.length-1], the second highest in array[array.length-2] and so on.
• The top N entries can be sorted in descending order, so that the N elements with the highest values are placed in the array's first N positions (the highest entry of the array will be in array[0], the second highest entry will be in array[1] and so on.
