Counting Sort is really a Bad option for this Problem as range is not given yes range can be find in single traversal but think if largest element is 10^9 and size of the array is just about 10^3 Counting Sort = O(10^9) Simple Sorting = O(10^4)
Counting sort will perform bad in this case both in terms of Space Requirements and Time On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 11:25 PM, snehi jain <snehijai...@gmail.com> wrote: > ankur : i wont say its the best way, but it can be used > in one traversal the range can be determined and then count sort > can be applied. > > > > On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 10:56 PM, Ankur Garg <ankurga...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> @Sravan ..Counting Sort takes O(n) time but it needs range of nos to be >> known >> @Snehi jain..there is no range given so am not sure if count sort will >> work ,Can you please elaborate a bit on ur method >> >> Ankur >> >> >> On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 10:09 PM, sravanreddy001 < >> sravanreddy...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Just went throught what a count sort is at >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort >>> >>> If all the elements are distinct which is possible, will this count sort >>> have any use? >>> >>> Also, the sorting takes O(nlogn) time right? >>> >>> Did I miss anything? >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >>> "Algorithm Geeks" group. >>> To view this discussion on the web visit >>> https://groups.google.com/d/msg/algogeeks/-/08bcRsmFYJgJ. >>> >>> To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >>> algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> For more options, visit this group at >>> http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. >>> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Algorithm Geeks" group. >> To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Algorithm Geeks" group. > To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. > -- Sunny Aggrawal B.Tech.
