Is Insertion Sort Inefficient
Jul 20, 2014
I could have copied the code for a standard algorithm such as insertion sort, but I wanted to do it on my own to see how well I think. I came up with a working solution below. This is efficient or not or if I can make improvements. Would this approach ring any alarm bells in an interview ?
public static void insertionSort(int[] unsortedArray) {
int[] a = unsortedArray;// alias for the array
int s = 0;// index before which all elements are in order.
int tmp = 0;// temporary variable
int last = a.length - 1;

Im trying to do an insertion sort using ArrayLists and I keep getting this error after the sorting section where it doesnt sort anything at all, but still displays my previous array list.:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 7, Size: 7
at java.util.ArrayList.rangeCheck(Unknown Source)

My code:
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class Utilities {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<String> equipment = new ArrayList<String>();

I can't spot where my java implementation of insertion sort differs from the pseudocode here:Well, there is one difference in the parameters used by the insert method, which is inconsistent in the pseudocode.I'm pretty sure it should be calling insert (a,n) instead of (a,i,n);
insert(a,k) i←k
x ← a[k]
while x < a[i − 1]
x ← a[i]
a[i ] ← a[i − 1] i ←i −1
a[i]←x return
insertion-sort(a,n)
m ← select-min(a,1,n) swap(a,1,m)
fori from2upton
insert(a,i,n) return
Here is my attempt at a java implementation, which doesn't actually seem to do anything.I've kept variable names as in the pseudocode. Might technically be bad practice, butI think it should make it easier to follow in this particular scenario.public class InsertionSort {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] array = { 99, 2, 44, 14, 14, 44, 11, 33, 14, 14, 51 };
insertionSort(array, 10);
for (int i : array)
System.out.print(i + " ");
[code]...
Why am I so interested in this pseudocode when there are simpler java-ready examples of insertion sort on the internet? Simply because this is the code the professor uses, so I should be able to understand it.

public class Employee {
private String firstName;
private String eeid;
}
I want to sort using empoyee firstName.. If two employee names are same, i need to sort based on eeid.. using insertion sort
if (key == "name") {
for (int i = 1; i < list.length; i++) {
Employee t = list[i];
int j;
for (j = i - 1; j >= 0 && t.getLastName().compareTo(list[j].getLastName())<0; j--)
list[j + 1] = list[j];
list[j + 1] = t;
}
}
It will sort using names.. But if two names are same, it wont sort based on eeid.. I want to achieve only using insertion sort..
EX:
vivek 8
broody 2
chari 3
vivek 5
chari 1
output:
broody 2
chari 1
chari 3
vivek 5
vivek 8

I am working on my generic insertion sort program. When I completed and run my code, I am having trouble with my code. So, I am just trying to see if I get an correct array from a file. However, i just get so many nulls in the array. Therefore, I can't run my insertionSort function because of null values.
Here is my code
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

In class we were give the algorithm for a non-decreasing algorithm here:
This is pseudo code given for the non-decreasing.
for j = 2 to A.length
key = A[j]
i = j - 1
while i > 0 and A[i] > key
A[i+1] = A[i]
i = i -1
A[i = 1] = key
//I was asked to make it non-increasing, so this is what I have.
for j = A.length - 1 to 1
key = A[j]
i = j - 1
while i > 0 and A[i] < key
A[i+1] = A[i]
i = i + 1
A[i-1] = key
Is there anything wrong with this algorithm? Will it give me the non-increasing sort?

} private Node insert(Key key, Value val, Node x) {
if(x == null) {
x = new Node(key, val, 1);

I am having some difficulty adding a new item to the HashTable when a collision occurs. We can only use the basic utilities to code this, so we are coding a HashTable by hand. We have an array of length of 10, which each index holds or will hold a Node for a Linked List.
The code hashes fine, adds the item, but the problem exists when adding items that already been hashed. The project is much bigger, but this is the engine behind the rest, and I figured I would tackle this first.
The items we are adding are objects which are states containing different information, we hash based on the ASCII sum % tableSize.
Here is the code I am testing with to add items:
HashTable ht = new HashTable(10);
State az = new State("Arizona","AZ","W",2,"Y",2);
State fl = new State("Florida", "FL", "F", 2, "X", 2);
State hi = new State("Hawaii", "HI", "H", 3, "Z", 1);
State al = new State("Alabama", "AL", "A", 5, "W", 0);
ht.insert(hi);

We have an autosys job running in our production on daily basis. It calls a shell script which in turn calls a java servlet. This servlet reads these files and inserts the data into two different tables and then does some processing. Java version is 1.6 & application server is WAS7 and database is oracel-11g.
We get several issues with this process like it takes time, goes out of memory etc etc. Below are the details of the way we have coded this process.
1. When we read the file using BufferedReader, do we really get a lot of strings created in the memory as returned by readLine() method of BufferedReader? These files contain 4-5Lacs of line. All the records are separated by newline character. Is there a better way to read files in java to achieve efficiency? I couldnt find any provided the fact that all the record lines in the file are of variable length.
2. When we insert the data then we are doing a batch process with statement/prepared statement. We are making one batch containing all the records of the file. Does it really matter to break the batch size to have better performance?
3. If the tables has no indexes defined nor any other constraints and all the columns are VARCHAR type, then which operation will be faster:- inserting a new row or updating an existing row based upon some matching condition?

public class Person implements Comparable<Person> {
// the age of the person
private int age;
//the name of the person
private String name;
//the Integer object to wrap the age value;
private Integer ageWrap;
[Code] .....
The collection library has a class named TreeSet, which is an example of a sorted set. Elements in this set are kept in order. Carefully read the description of this class, and then write a class Person that can be inserted into a TreeSet, which will then sort the Person objects by age.
This is the exercise I am trying to solve. And this is as far as I have gotten to. Is it possible to sort my setOfPersons TreeSet directly? I tried to use
Collections.sort(setOfPersons)
method but it wont compile, and I realized that it is not applicable to TreeSet. So I made the
sortByAge()
method to do it indirectly...
I am puzzled though because in the exercise it states
write a class Person that can be inserted into a TreeSet, which will then sort the Person objects by age.
meaning that the TreeSet will sort the Person Objects and not my class..

I'm trying to make a selection sort method that will sort a list of Strings alphabetically.
I have a test list of Strings like so:
Joe, Steve, Oscar, Drew, Evan, Brian, Ryan, Adam, Zachary, Jane, Doe, Susan, Fred, Billy-Bob, Cindy, Mildred, Joseph, Hammer, Hank, Dennis, Barbara
However, whenever I run the method, the element that should go last, Zachary, in this case, ends up getting moved to the front for some reason. I'm not sure why.
I tried changing what the first element was initialized to, to the variable i as that would logically work as well, but it ends up missing the first element in the list.
Java Code:
public static void selectionStringAscendingSort (String[] words){
int i, j, first;
String temp;
for ( i = 1; i < words.length; i++ ) {
first = 0; //initialize to subscript of first element
for(j = i; j < words.length; j ++){ //locate smallest element between positions 1 and i.
if( words[ j ].compareTo(words[ first ]) <0 )
first = j;
}
temp = words[ first ]; //swap smallest found with element in position i.
words[ first ] = words[ i ];
words[ i ] = temp;
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(words));
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(words));
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Java Code: for (int y = 1; y < (dataArray.length + 1); y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < dataArray.length - 1 ; x++)
{
if ((dataArray[x][1]) <= (dataArray[x + 1][1]));
{
tempOpen = dataArray[x][1];
dataArray[x][1] = dataArray[x + 1][1];
dataArray[x + 1][1] = tempOpen;

Directions: public static void initialize(ArrayList names, ArrayList sores)
You should write a function that sorts both array lists, based on the values in the scores array list. This is one of the more conceptually challenging parts of the assignment. You want to sort the scores array list, and simultaneously alter the names array list so that the names continue to line up with their respective scores by index. In the example data above, when the score 9900 moves to the first element of the scores array list, the name "Kim" should also be moved to the top of the names array list. The function should have the following signature:
I'm having trouble figuring out how to sort the lists.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Assignment5

/**
