public class MSD
extends java.lang.Object

The MSD class provides static methods for sorting an array of extended ASCII strings or integers using MSD radix sort.

For additional documentation, see Section 5.1 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Reads in a sequence of extended ASCII strings from standard input; MSD radix sorts them; and prints them to standard output in ascending order.
static void	sort(int[] a) Rearranges the array of 32-bit integers in ascending order.
static void	sort(java.lang.String[] a) Rearranges the array of extended ASCII strings in ascending order.

Method Detail

sort

public static void sort(java.lang.String[] a)

Rearranges the array of extended ASCII strings in ascending order.

Parameters:

a - the array to be sorted

sort

public static void sort(int[] a)

Rearranges the array of 32-bit integers in ascending order. Currently assumes that the integers are nonnegative.

Parameters:

a - the array to be sorted

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Reads in a sequence of extended ASCII strings from standard input; MSD radix sorts them; and prints them to standard output in ascending order.

Parameters:

args - the command-line arguments
