static void radix(Integer[] A, int k, int r) { Integer[] B = new Integer[A.length]; int[] count = new int[r]; // Count[i] stores number of records with digit value i int i, j, rtok; for (i=0, rtok=1; i<k; i++, rtok*=r) { // For k digits for (j=0; j<r; j++) { count[j] = 0; } // Initialize count // Count the number of records for each bin on this pass for (j=0; j<A.length; j++) { count[(A[j]/rtok)%r]++; } // count[j] will be index in B for last slot of bin j. // First, reduce count[0] because indexing starts at 0, not 1 count[0] = count[0] - 1; for (j=1; j<r; j++) { count[j] = count[j-1] + count[j]; } // Put records into bins, working from bottom of bin // Since bins fill from bottom, j counts downwards for (j=A.length-1; j>=0; j--) { B[count[(A[j]/rtok)%r]] = A[j]; count[(A[j]/rtok)%r] = count[(A[j]/rtok)%r] - 1; } for (j=0; j<A.length; j++) { A[j] = B[j]; } // Copy B back } }

7.1.1.8. Sorting Lower Bound (1)¶
We would like to know a lower bound for the problem of sorting
Sorting is \(O(n \log n)\) (average, worst cases) because we know of algorithms with this upper bound.
Sorting I/O takes \(\Omega(n)\) time. You have to look at all records to tell if the list is sorted.
We will now prove \(\Omega(n log n)\) lower bound for sorting.
