Class ProxySorter

java.lang.Object
io.jenetics.util.ProxySorter
public final class ProxySorter extends Object
This sorting methods doesn't sort a given array directly, instead an index lookup array is returned which allows to access the array in a sorted order.
final double[] array = new Random().doubles(100).toArray(); final int[] proxy = ProxySorter.sort(array); // 'Classical' array sort. final double[] sorted = array.clone(); Arrays.sort(sorted); // Iterating the array in ascending order. for (int i = 0; i < array.length; ++i) { assert sorted[i] == array[proxy[i]]; }
The minimal requirement of the proxy-sorter will be an access function and the number of elements you want to sort.
final IntFunction<String> access = ...; final int length = 100; final int[] proxy = ProxySorter.sort( access, length, (a, i, j) -> a.apply(i).compareTo(a.apply(j)) );

The most general sorting method is sort(Object, int, Comparator). All other sorting methods can be created with this method.

      public static <T> int[] sort(T array, int from, int to, ProxySorter.Comparator<? super T> comparator)
      Sorting the given array by creating an index lookup array. The original array is not touched, and the returned array can then be used for iterating the array in ascending order.
      final double[] array = ...; final int[] sorted = ProxySorter.sort( array, 5, array.length, (a, i, j) -> Doubler.compare(a[i], a[j]) ); for (int i : sorted) { System.out.println(array[i]); }
      Type Parameters:
      T - the array type
      Parameters:
      array - the array which is sorted
      from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted
      to - the index of the last element (exclusive) to be sorted
      comparator - the array element comparator
      Returns:
      the sorted index array
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if one of the arrays or comparator is null
      IllegalArgumentException - if from > to
      ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if from < 0
