Could someone please advise why this code is not working correctly when threshold is set to <=3? last few digits of array does not get sorted. For example:
input: {20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 }; output: {3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 2 1 }
public class mergesorttest{
public static void main(String[]args){
int d[]= {20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };
mergeSort(d,0,d.length);
for(int x:d) System.out.print(x+" ");
System.out.println();
}
static final int THRESHOLD = 3;
static void mergeSort(int f[],int lb, int ub){
if (ub - lb <= THRESHOLD)
insertion_srt(f, lb, ub);
else
{
int mid = (lb+ub)/2;
mergeSort(f,lb,mid);
mergeSort(f,mid,ub);
merge(f,lb,mid,ub);
}
}
static void merge (int f[],int p, int q, int r){
//p<=q<=r
int i =p; int j = q;
//use temp array to store merged sub-sequence
int temp[] = new int[r-p]; int t = 0;
while(i<q && j<r){
if(f[i]<=f[j]){
temp[t] =f[i];
i++;t++;
}
else{
temp[t] = f[j];
j++;
t++;
}
//tag on remaining sequence
while(i<q){
temp[t] = f[i];
i++;
t++;
}
while(j<r){
temp[t]=f[j];
j++;
t++;
}
//copy temp back to f
i=p;t=0;
while(t<temp.length){
f[i]=temp[t];
i++;
t++;
}
}
}
public static void insertion_srt(int array[], int n, int b){
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++){
int j = i;
int B = array[i];
while ((j > 0) && (array[j-1] > B)){
array[j] = array[j-1];
j--;
}
array[j] = B;
}
}
}
P.S. code was borrowed from other post Combining MergeSort with Insertion sort to make it more efficient
