Look up the documentation of stdlib.h function qsort().

Don't let the function name fool you. This function need not use the "Quicksort" algorithm. Notice that if two or more elements compare equal, qsort can leave these elements in any relative order.

If you must absolutely use the "Quicksort" algorithm then you need to write your own function.

@donbock
Thanx for the help! I saw the documentation and it was quite difficult to understand, especially the 4th argument.. Anyway I will write it on my own :( . That's what I thought in the first place anyway.. I was just curious if there were one ready algorithm. :D

Quicksort - compare function object

by: Lieven |last post by:

I want to make a quicksort algorithm that can take both a vector and a list. This is the code I've got. But I also want to give an argument that will be used for comparing the elements. I am used to programming in Lisp/Scheme, where I would just pass a lambda. Is a function object something like that in C++? And in that case, how would I pass the function/operator < (lesser then). //quicksort template<typename BidirectionalIterator>...

OT anyone know iterative quicksort?

by: HERC777 |last post by:

just paste the below into notepad, call it iqsort.html double click it and your IE browser will run it. (neat! a universal programming language we can all run!) it falls out from the sort procedure. I got javascript quicksort running, it's quick but it gets stack overflow after about 5000 elements. Am I passing the array as a parameter alright? I think javascript default is to pass pointers, that can be global.

QuickSort . I don't understand this behavior

by: camotito |last post by:

Hi, I want to sort an array of pointers, each position of this array point to a position in an integer array. There is a strange behavior when the 'pivot' is '0'. I am using Visual C++, and when executing the OS tell me "quicksort.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". When there is no zeros in the integer array, this doesn't happen. The pivot is always the last element. Try to change the last element in the array for a non...
