      Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! It certainly does take a while. By the time I'm done planning, writing, recording, editing, and uploading, it's sometimes surprising how long it takes to make a decent 10-minute video. But that's the idea, spend the time on my end to deliver a clear message so viewers don't have to!

    Here's a little improvement to the Bubble Sort implementation:
    For every loop, there will be one highest element put to the rightmost of the array. So instead of hardcoding the numbers.length, put it in some variable before for-loop (ex: index = numbers.length). At the end of the for-loop block, decrease the index by one (index--). Because, you don't need in anyway checking the rightmost elements that have been checked in the previous loop. Those elements are already sorted.
    Here's the implementation:
    public static String bubbleSort(int[] numbers) {
    boolean swappedSomething = true;
    while(swappedSomething ) {
    swappedSomething = false;
    int index = numbers.length-1;
    for (int i = 0; i < index; i++) {
    if(numbers[i] > numbers[i+1]) {
    swappedSomething = true;
    int temp= numbers[i];
    numbers[i] = numbers[i+1];
    numbers[i+1] = temp;
    index--;
    }
    }
    }

      the line "int index = numbers.length-1;" need to be placed outside of the While block. If you placed it like this, everytime the first loop starts, it will set default index to a fixed length in which the second loop will always check the whole array.

      @lupserg302 Рік тому +4

      This *improvement is worse in therms of speed because with every swapp , the index will be lesser and lesser . Suppose your minimum number is the last one , so your method will ignore that number untill all numbers before are sorted (checked with debuger). So , the method will do even more iterations to replace that number because it every time will set index for n-1. To improve your ideea, i set index before While and index-- after looping , so when the iterations stops, the index will be the maximum number compare to the left side so it will be unnecessary to check the right side of index (this method will sort the maximum number in each iteration). I hardly recommend to use Debuger to check each iteration and each variable at each iteration.
      Anyway, thanks for your ideea!
      Here is my improvement :
      public static String bubbleSort(int[] numbers) {
      boolean swappedSomething = true;
      int index = numbers.length-1;
      while(swappedSomething ) {
      swappedSomething = false;
      for (int i = 0; i < index; i++) {
      if(numbers[i] > numbers[i+1]) {
      swappedSomething = true;
      int temp= numbers[i];
      numbers[i] = numbers[i+1];
      numbers[i+1] = temp;
      }
      }
      index--;
      }
      }

    Almost perfect. This is one of the many sorting algorithms that is mandatory in German higher education computer science classes. We also evaluate the complexity by measuring the time and we talk about the mathematical representation of the complexity.
    I said almost perfect because we try to optimize the algorithm, e.g. by reducing the length of the array that must be checked after each cycle. As you explained, the last and last but one element don't have to be checked. The question also arises whether using two for loops and a boolean is faster.

  • @linushoja7397
    @linushoja7397 2 роки тому +2

    You could also just use another int to declare the last switched index, so you can just leave the rest, sorted array untouched, this should safe you a lot of time with big arrays, because it just gets at least one iteration smaller each round.

  • @pradeexsu

    in inner for loop we can put an `i< numbers.length -1 - iteration_count`.
    there is no need to compare already bubbled element in previous iteration, that are already in right place.
    ```
    private static void bubbleSort(int[] numbers) {
    boolean swappedSomething = true;
    int iter_count = 0;
    while (swappedSomething) {
    swappedSomething = false;
    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length - 1 - iter_count; i++) {
    if (numbers[i] > numbers[i + 1]) {
    swappedSomething = true;
    int temp = numbers[i];
    numbers[i] = numbers[i + 1];
    numbers[i + 1] = temp;
    }
    }
    iter_count++;
    }
    }
    ```

      Good work. There is a subsumed version that can be found in Wikipedia. The comparison count is reduced by 50%. It has no boolean variable. Instead it keeps track of the last item swapped and enforces a new upper limit.

  • @richardmeyer418
    @richardmeyer418 2 роки тому +1

    Just something to think about. Since every time you go through the for statement, the last number is in the correct place, you only have to go through it to "length -1" once and the next time is "length - 2" and you'd be doing one less comparison and loop each time, so wouldn't the complexity be less?
    If you still have the source code, would you make the change and let me know if it makes a difference? Obviously with the way you have it set up, you'd have to generate a "permanent" array and copy it to sort it both ways.
    Just a thought - and it's easy for me to hand out assignments to someone who's just trying to advance knowledge on the internet.

      ​@@Tidbit0123 I can only guess. Even when the array is completely sorted the iterator will still go over it one more time instead of breaking out the while loop. Furthermore I guess it has something to do with branch prediction and other optimizations.
      You're into that - that's great! Keep it up, you're asking the right questions.
      Do your results change when the iterator variable counts down instead of up?
      Like this:
      for (int i = numbers.length - 1; i > 0 ; i--) {
      //Sorting algorithm
      if (numbers[i] < numbers[i - 1]) {
      int temp = numbers[i];
      numbers[i] = numbers[i - 1];
      numbers[i - 1] = temp;

      @@troeteimarsch So I changed up my testing quite a bit, I created a count variable and added 1 to count on each iteration for every loop.
      The while/for and for/for approaches both take in 10-15,000 iterations to complete the operation.
      The single loop method is taking 100,000-130,000 depending on the array generated, while I know an array of 100 fixed numbers would give better results it feels pretty clear even with a random list.
      So when we reset the value of i each loop, it means we just compare a shorter set of numbers per loop, so it makes sense that the count variable is high, but I don't really understand the massive gap in performance being that it is 4x slower.
      Is it because we have to compare the same numbers again as we progress along the array? Because it's possible we have one element stop before making it to its correct position in the array, so basically just multiple interation phases for singular elements. Correct my if I am wrong with my understanding of how this operation works.

    I noticed that you used length - 1 as the index for the second to last element of the array. But array[length] should be out of bounds. Only 0 to length -1 are valid. I'm guessing that java doesn't throw an out of bounds error since the sort worked regardless. But I think the slightly more efficient method would be length - 2. Also, first pass through forces the highest number to the end, so there's no need to check the last number in the second pass. So, the range could be decremented by 1 with each iteration through the bubblesort. While still O(n^2) the actual time is cut in half.

      No worries! Yeah Java would have thrown an IndexOutOfBoundsException if the actual length was used as the array index.
      You're absolutely right - because you know the largest value bubbles to the end each time, you can absolutely decrement the range each iteration like you're saying to cut back on all those extra unnecessary comparisons.

    Great example.
    I don't know if the following "improvements" help much. On my ancient Dell-M4800 using Amazon Corretto 17 JDK I'm getting a touch under 30 seconds for 100,000 records.
    The fewer additions we can do, I assume the better, but at the expense of more memory. Also note we can reduce N by one every time through the loop since after every time, the greatest number is at the bottom, then bottom-1, then bottom-2, etc. Maybe after a few thousand iterations, we're just "spinning our wheels" at the last few thousand iterations as they've already been sorted.
    Likewise every array "lookup" I like to do once, assign it to a variable (numsI, and numsIP1 --> versus repeating nums[i] and nums[i + 1]).
    Once again I can't say how much time all these "improvements" buy us.
    int n = nums.length - 1;
    while (swap) {
    swap = false;

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    int ip1 = i+1;
    int numsI = nums[i];
    int numsIP1 = nums[ip1];
    if (numsI > numsIP1) {
    int hold = numsI;
    nums[i] = numsIP1;
    nums[ip1] = hold;
    swap = true;
    }
    }
    n -= 1;
    }

    while (sorted!= true)
    for(int i = 0;i < length-1;i++){
    do something();
    length -= 1;

    Hi genuine question
    when you set the swappedSomething = false;
    would that mean it will break through the while loop and never go to the for loop, Im fairly new to programming so im a lil bit confuse abt it

    • @Tidbit0123
      @Tidbit0123 2 роки тому +1

      So when we set swappedSomething = false, the while condition has already been evaluated to true in order to run, so it will continue until the end of the while loops code block before evauluating the condition again. If something was swapped in the for loop, the condition of swappedSomething = true again, and the while loop will repeat. If nothing was swapped, the value of swappedSomething will remain as false so the while loop will evaluate the condition as false, and thats when the looping will end.
      The behaviour you're referring to would be a break; or return ;statement, which would break the while loop no matter the conition

    If don't undertand something I don't give up, I just find another source of the same information. That's how I found your channel.

    Nice video, but isn't this bubble sort?
    for (int i = 0; i

    i believe bubblesort is either bad explained or bad animated, actually compares first element to all, then second element to all from second element, then third element from all from third element and so on... not in pairs.

      oh i see gets implemented as the explanation and animation, i stand corrected

    is this a late april fools? you know that after each 'bubble' there will be one more ordered element? instead of a while just use 2 for loops, the first one moves the end point back and the second one moves the 'bubble'
