This paper has some analysis. Also, from Wikipedia: The most direct competitor of quicksort is heapsort. Heapsort is typically somewhat slower than quicksort, but the worst-case running time is always Θ(nlogn). Quicksort is usually faster, though there remains the chance of worst case performance except in the introsort variant, which switches to heapsort when a bad … Read more
I am having a problem with calling a method that is in a different class. This main method is in a class on its own called lab14, and the heapSort() method is in a different class called HeapSort. Both of these classes are in the default package. I am getting the error “The method heapSort(Vector) … Read more
Here’s what MAX-HEAPIFY does: Given a node at index i whose left and right subtrees are max-heaps, MAX-HEAPIFY moves the node at i down the max-heap until it no longer violates the max-heap property (that is, the node is not smaller than its children). The longest path that a node can take before it is in the proper position … Read more
