Standard C library provides qsort function that can be used for sorting an array. Following is the prototype of qsort() function.

// Sort an array of any type. The parameters are base // address of array size of array and pointer to // comparator function void qsort (void* base size_t num size_t size int (*comparator)(const void* const void*)); 

It requires a pointer to the array the number of elements in the array the size of each element and a comparator function. We have discussed qsort comparator in detail her . C ++ standardbibliotek giver en lignende funktionssortering (), der stammer fra STL. Vi har diskuteret C ++ slags her . Following are prototypes of C++ sort() function.

// To sort in default or ascending order. template void sort(T first T last); // To sort according to the order specified // by comp. template void sort(T first T last Compare comp);  

The order of equal elements is not guaranteed to be preserved. C++ provides std::stable_sort that can be used to preserve order. Sammenligning med qsort og sortering () 1. Implementeringsdetaljer: Som navnet antyder, bruger QSORT -funktion QuickSort -algoritme til at sortere det givne array, selvom C -standarden ikke kræver, at den implementerer QuickSort. C ++ sorteringsfunktion bruger introsort, som er en hybridalgoritme. Forskellige implementeringer bruger forskellige algoritmer. GNU-standard C ++ -biblioteket bruger for eksempel en 3-delt hybrid-sorteringsalgoritme: Introsort udføres først (Introsort i sig selv som en hybrid af Quicksort og Heap Sort) efterfulgt af en indsættelsessortering på resultatet. 2. Kompleksitet: C -standarden taler ikke om dens kompleksitet af QSort. Den nye C ++ 11 -standard kræver, at kompleksiteten af ​​sortering er O (nlog (n)) i værste tilfælde. Tidligere versioner af C ++ såsom C ++ 03 muliggør mulige værste tilfælde af O (N^2). Kun gennemsnitlig kompleksitet var påkrævet for at være O (n log n). 3. kørselstid: STL’s sort ran faster than C’s qsort because C++’s templates generate optimized code for a particular data type and a particular comparison function. STL’s sort runs 20% to 50% faster than the hand-coded quicksort and 250% to 1000% faster than the C qsort library function. C might be the fastest language but qsort is very slow. When we tried to sort one million integers on C++14 Time taken by C qsort() was 0.247883 sec and time taken by C++ sort() was only 0.086125 sec CPP

   // C++ program to demonstrate performance of   // C qsort and C++ sort() algorithm   #include          using     namespace     std  ;   // Number of elements to be sorted   #define N 1000000   // A comparator function used by qsort   int     compare  (  const     void     *     a       const     void     *     b  )   {      return     (     *  (  int  *  )  a     -     *  (  int  *  )  b     );   }   // Driver program to test above functions   int     main  ()   {      int     arr  [  N  ]     dupArr  [  N  ];      // seed for random input      srand  (  time  (  NULL  ));      // to measure time taken by qsort and sort      clock_t     begin       end  ;      double     time_spent  ;      // generate random input      for     (  int     i     =     0  ;     i      <     N  ;     i  ++  )      dupArr  [  i  ]     =     arr  [  i  ]     =     rand  ()  %  100000  ;      begin     =     clock  ();      qsort  (  arr       N       sizeof  (  int  )     compare  );      end     =     clock  ();      // calculate time taken by C qsort function      time_spent     =     (  double  )(  end     -     begin  )     /     CLOCKS_PER_SEC  ;      cout      < <     'Time taken by C qsort() - '       < <     time_spent      < <     endl  ;      time_spent     =     0.0  ;      begin     =     clock  ();      sort  (  dupArr       dupArr     +     N  );      end     =     clock  ();      // calculate time taken by C++ sort      time_spent     =     (  double  )(  end     -     begin  )     /     CLOCKS_PER_SEC  ;      cout      < <     'Time taken by C++ sort() - '       < <     time_spent      < <     endl  ;      return     0  ;   }   

Output :

Time taken by C qsort() - 0.247883 Time taken by C++ sort() - 0.086125  

C++ sort() is blazingly faster than qsort() on equivalent data due to inlining. sort() on a container of integers will be compiled to use std::less::operator() by default which will be inlined and sort() will be comparing the integers directly. On the other hand qsort() will be making an indirect call through a function pointer for every comparison which compilers fails to optimize. 4. fleksibilitet: STLs sortering fungerer for alle datatyper og for forskellige databeholdere som C Arrays C ++ Vectors C ++ deques osv. Og andre containere, der kan skrives af brugeren. Denne form for fleksibilitet er ret vanskelig at opnå i C. 5. Sikkerhed: Sammenlignet med QSORT er den templerede slags mere typesikker, da den ikke kræver adgang til dataelementer gennem usikre ugyldige pointer, som QSORT gør.
