A good reference card / cheat sheet with the basic sort algorithms in C? [closed]
I made this for a friend of mine studying C, maybe you will find it helpful:
#include <stdlib.h>#include <string.h>static void swap(int *a, int *b) { if (a != b) { int c = *a; *a = *b; *b = c; }}void bubblesort(int *a, int l) { int i, j; for (i = l - 2; i >= 0; i--) for (j = i; j < l - 1 && a[j] > a[j + 1]; j++) swap(a + j, a + j + 1);}void selectionsort(int *a, int l) { int i, j, k; for (i = 0; i < l; i++) { for (j = (k = i) + 1; j < l; j++) if (a[j] < a[k]) k = j; swap(a + i, a + k); }}static void hsort_helper(int *a, int i, int l) { int j; for (j = 2 * i + 1; j < l; i = j, j = 2 * j + 1) if (a[i] < a[j]) if (j + 1 < l && a[j] < a[j + 1]) swap(a + i, a + ++j); else swap(a + i, a + j); else if (j + 1 < l && a[i] < a[j + 1]) swap(a + i, a + ++j); else break;}void heapsort(int *a, int l) { int i; for (i = (l - 2) / 2; i >= 0; i--) hsort_helper(a, i, l); while (l-- > 0) { swap(a, a + l); hsort_helper(a, 0, l); }}static void msort_helper(int *a, int *b, int l) { int i, j, k, m; switch (l) { case 1: a[0] = b[0]; case 0: return; } m = l / 2; msort_helper(b, a, m); msort_helper(b + m, a + m, l - m); for (i = 0, j = 0, k = m; i < l; i++) a[i] = b[j < m && !(k < l && b[j] > b[k]) ? j++ : k++];}void mergesort(int *a, int l) { int *b; if (l < 0) return; b = malloc(l * sizeof(int)); memcpy(b, a, l * sizeof(int)); msort_helper(a, b, l); free(b);}static int pivot(int *a, int l) { int i, j; for (i = j = 1; i < l; i++) if (a[i] <= a[0]) swap(a + i, a + j++); swap(a, a + j - 1); return j;}void quicksort(int *a, int l) { int m; if (l <= 1) return; m = pivot(a, l); quicksort(a, m - 1); quicksort(a + m, l - m);}struct node { int value; struct node *left, *right;};void btreesort(int *a, int l) { int i; struct node *root = NULL, **ptr; for (i = 0; i < l; i++) { for (ptr = &root; *ptr;) ptr = a[i] < (*ptr)->value ? &(*ptr)->left : &(*ptr)->right; *ptr = malloc(sizeof(struct node)); **ptr = (struct node){.value = a[i]}; } for (i = 0; i < l; i++) { struct node *node; for (ptr = &root; (*ptr)->left; ptr = &(*ptr)->left); a[i] = (*ptr)->value; node = (*ptr)->right; free(*ptr); (*ptr) = node; }}
You should definitely check out the Animated Sorting Algorithms page. It is an amazing resource for sorting algorithms.
EDIT Thanks to Peterino for the new link!
What you need is a book called Algorithms in C by Robert Sedgewick.

I would probably look for a used one. New ones are somewhat expensive (but, still totally worth it.)
