C++ Program for Gnome Sort?
Here we will see how the gnome sort works. This is another sorting algorithm. In this approach if the list is already sorted it will take O(n) time. So best case time complexity is O(n). But average case and worst case complexity is O(n^2). Now let us see the algorithm to get the idea about this sorting technique.
Algorithm
gnomeSort(arr, n)
begin index := 0 while index < n, do if index is 0, then index := index + 1 end if if arr[index] >= arr[index -1], then index := index + 1 else exchange arr[index] and arr[index - 1] index := index - 1 end if done end
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void gnomeSort(int arr[], int n){
int index = 0;
while(index < n){
if(index == 0) index++;
if(arr[index] >= arr[index - 1]){ //if the element is greater than previous one
index++;
} else {
swap(arr[index], arr[index - 1]);
index--;
}
}
}
main() {
int data[] = {54, 74, 98, 154, 98, 32, 20, 13, 35, 40};
int n = sizeof(data)/sizeof(data[0]);
cout << "Sorted Sequence ";
gnomeSort(data, n);
for(int i = 0; i <n;i++){
cout << data[i] << " ";
}
}Output
Sorted Sequence 13 20 32 35 40 54 74 98 98 154
