How do you sort an array of structs in swift

Sort within the same array variable Sort functions bellow are exactly the same, the only difference how short and expressive they are: Full declaration: myArr.sort { (lhs: EntryStruct, rhs: EntryStruct) -> Bool in // you can have additional code here return lhs.deadline < rhs.deadline } Shortened closure declaration: myArr.sort { (lhs:EntryStruct, rhs:EntryStruct) in return lhs.deadline … Read more

Why is builtin sorted() slower for a list containing descending numbers if each number appears twice consecutively?

As alluded to in the comments by btilly and Amadan, this is due to how the Timsort sorting algorithm works. Detailed description of the algorithm is here. Timsort speeds up operation on partially sorted arrays by identifying runs of sorted elements. A run is either “ascending”, which means non-decreasing: a0 <= a1 <= a2 <= … Read more

Best way to retrieve K largest elements from large unsorted arrays?

Another way of solving this is using Quickselect. This should give you a total average time complexity of O(n). Consider this: Find the kth largest number x using Quickselect (O(n)) Iterate through the array again (or just through the right-side partition) (O(n)) and save all elements ≥ x Return your saved elements (If there are … Read more

How do I sort very large files

That isn’t exactly a Java problem. You need to look into an efficient algorithm for sorting data that isn’t completely read into memory. A few adaptations to Merge-Sort can achieve this. Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sorting Basically the idea here is to break the file into smaller pieces, sort them (either with … Read more
