sorts.reverse_selection

A pure Python implementation of the Reverse Selection Sort algorithm

This algorithm progressively sorts the array by reversing subarrays

For doctests run following command: python3 -m doctest -v reverse_selection_sort.py

Module Contents

sorts.reverse_selection.reverse_selection_sort(collection: list) list

A pure implementation of reverse selection sort algorithm in Python

Parameters:

collection – some mutable ordered collection with heterogeneous

comparable items inside :return: the same collection sorted in ascending order

Examples: >>> reverse_selection_sort([1, 9, 5, 21, 17, 6]) [1, 5, 6, 9, 17, 21]

>>> reverse_selection_sort([])
[]
>>> reverse_selection_sort([-3, -17, -48])
[-48, -17, -3]
>>> reverse_selection_sort([1, 1, 1, 1])
[1, 1, 1, 1]
>>> reverse_selection_sort([5, 4, 3, 2, 1])
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
sorts.reverse_selection.reverse_subarray(arr: list, start: int, end: int) None

Reverse a subarray in-place.

Parameters:
  • arr – the array containing the subarray to be reversed

  • start – the starting index of the subarray

  • end – the ending index of the subarray

Examples: >>> lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] >>> reverse_subarray(lst, 1, 3) >>> lst [1, 4, 3, 2, 5]

>>> lst = [1]
>>> reverse_subarray(lst, 0, 0)
>>> lst
[1]
>>> lst = [1, 2]
>>> reverse_subarray(lst, 0, 1)
>>> lst
[2, 1]
