Hi all! I think the question title is clear enough: is is possible to stable_sort() a std::list in C++? Or do I have to convert it to a std::vector? I'm asking because I tried a simple example and it seems to require RandomAccessIterators, which a linked list doesn't have. So, how do I stable sort a std::list()? EDIT: sample code that ...
The documentation doesn't guarantee that. Is there any other place that it is documented? I'm guessing it might be stable since the sort method on lists is guaranteed to be stable (Notes 9th point: "Starting with Python 2.3, the sort() method is guaranteed to be stable"), and sorted is functionally similar. However, I'm not able to fin...
I have defined a struct ABC to contain an int ID, string NAME, string LAST_NAME; My procedure is this: Read in a line from an input file. Parse each line into first name and last name and insert into the ABC struct. Also, the struct's ID is given by the number of the input line. Then, push_back the struct into a vector masterlist. I a...
Suppose my input is (a,b and c to distinguish between equal keys) 1 6a 8 3 6b 0 6c 4 My counting sort will save as (discarding the a,b and c info!!) 0(1) 1(1) 3(1) 4(1) 6(3) 8(1) which will give me the result 0 1 3 4 6 6 6 8 So, how is this stable sort? I am not sure how it is "maintaining the relative order of records with equa...
Consider the following problem. We are given an array of elements belonging to one two classes: either red or blue. We have to rearrange the elements of the array so that all blue elements come first (and all red elements follow). The rearrangement must be done is stable fashion, meaning that the relative order of blue elements must be ...
What is the stability of Array.sort in different browsers. I know that the ECMA Script specification does not specify which algorithm to use, nor does it specify whether the sort should be stable. I've found this information for Firefox at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort which s...
