comptSort 0.3.0

Sorting function.

comptSort

A function designed to sort sequences of data with one of 5 different sorting algorithms: Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Binary Insertion Sort, Merge Sort and Quicksort.

>>> from comptSort import comptSort
>>> from comptSort import SortingAlgorithm
>>> uData = [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
>>> sData = comptSort(uData, SortingAlgorithm.MERGE, asc=True)
>>> sData
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Installation

python3 -m pip install comptSort

Usage

comptSort provides two functions, one that sorts a list in place, and one that returns a sorted copy of a list.

from comptSort import compSort
from comptSort import compSortInPlace

comptSort offers 5 different sorting algorithms, all of which are comparison sorts.

>>> from comptSort import SortingAlgorithm
>>> list(SortingAlgorithm)
[<SortingAlgorithm.BUBBLE: 'bubble'>, <SortingAlgorithm.INSERTION: 'insertion'>, <SortingAlgorithm.BIN_INSERTION: 'bin_insertion'>, <SortingAlgorithm.MERGE: 'merge'>, <SortingAlgorithm.QUICK: 'quick'>]

Command Line Interface

It is also possible to sort a file with the CLI.

$ comptSort -h
usage: comptSort [-h] [-a {bubble,insertion,bin_insertion,merge,quick}] [-d] [-i] [-o OUTPUT] file

Test the comptSort library by sorting lines of files.

positional arguments:
  file                  file containing items to sort

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a {bubble,insertion,bin_insertion,merge,quick}, --algorithm {bubble,insertion,bin_insertion,merge,quick}
                        algorithm to sort with
  -d, --descending, --reverse
                        order sequence in descending order
  -i, --force-integers  parse lines from files as integers (by default strings)
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        write sorted lines to file
