MERGE(A, p, q, r),其中A是个数组,p, q和r是下标。满足p<=q<r.该过程假设子数组A[p..q]和A[q+1..r]都已排好序;
MERGE过程的时间代价为Θ(n), 其中n=r-p+1是待合并的元素个数。
伪码:
MERGE(A, p, q, r)
n1 ← q - p + 1
n2 ← r - q
create arrays L[1.. n1+1] and R[1.. n2+1]
for i ← 1 to n1
do L[i] ← A[p + i - 1]
for j ← 1 to n2
do R[j] ← A[q + j]
L[n1 + 1] ← ∞
R[n2 + 1] ← ∞
i ← 1
j ← 1
for k ← p to r
do if L[i] <= R[j]
then A[k] ← L[i]
i ← i + 1
else A[k] ← R[j]
j ← j + 1
MERGE-SORT(A, p, r)
if p < r
q ← (p + r) / 2
MERGE-SORT(A, p, q)
MERGE-SORT(A, q + 1, r)
MERGE(A, p, q, r)
Java实现
public void mergeSort(int[] a, int p, int r) { if (p < r) { int q = (p + r) / 2 ; mergeSort(a, p, q); mergeSort(a, q + 1, r); merge(a, p, q, r); } } private void merge(int a[], int p, int q, int r) { int n1 = q - p + 1; int n2 = r - q; int[] l_array = new int[n1 + 1]; int[] r_array = new int[n2 + 1]; for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++) { l_array[i] = a[p + i]; } for (int j = 0; j < n2; j++) { r_array[j] = a[q + j + 1]; } l_array[n1] = Integer.MAX_VALUE; r_array[n2] = Integer.MAX_VALUE; int i = 0, j = 0; for (int k = p; k <= r; k++) { if (l_array[i] <= r_array[j]) { a[k] = l_array[i]; i = i + 1; } else { a[k] = r_array[j]; j = j + 1; } } }
