如何使我的快速排序算法以升序和降序对数组进行排序？

Question

Currently my Quick Sort algorithm sorts the array in Ascending order in case 1 but I would like to make it so that when the user selects option 2 (case 2) then it sorts the array in Descending order. Do I have to create 2 separate algorithms for each case? Or is there a simpler and more efficient way?

Appreciate the help.

  static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Analysis of Seismic Data.\n");



        Console.WriteLine("Selection of Arrays:");
        //Display all the options.
        Console.WriteLine("1-Year");
        Console.WriteLine("2-Month");
        Console.WriteLine("3-Day");
        Console.WriteLine("4-Time");
        Console.WriteLine("5-Magnitude");
        Console.WriteLine("6-Latitude");
        Console.WriteLine("7-Longitude");
        Console.WriteLine("8-Depth");
        Console.WriteLine("9-Region");
        Console.WriteLine("10-IRIS_ID");
        Console.WriteLine("11-Timestamp\n\n");

        Console.WriteLine("Use numbers to select options.");
        //Read in user's decision.
        Console.Write("Select which array is to be analysed:");
            int userDecision = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

        //Selected which array is to be analyzed

Answer 1

You can change your Quicksort method to accept an IComparer<T> comparer , and then use that to make the comparisons.

Then you can use Comparer<T>.Default if you want the default comparison order, or you can use Comparer<T>.Create() to create a custom (eg reversed) comparison.

Compilable example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            int[] data = {6, 7, 2, 3, 8, 1, 9, 0, 5, 4};

            QuickSort(data);

            Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", data)); // Prints 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

            QuickSort(data, Comparer<int>.Create((a, b) => b.CompareTo(a)));

            Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", data)); // Prints 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
        }

        public static void QuickSort<T>(T[] data)
        {
            Quick_Sort(data, 0, data.Length - 1, Comparer<T>.Default);
        }

        public static void QuickSort<T>(T[] data, IComparer<T> comparer)
        {
            Quick_Sort(data, 0, data.Length - 1, comparer);
        }

        public static void Quick_Sort<T>(T[] data, int left, int right, IComparer<T> comparer)
        {
            int i, j;
            T pivot, temp;
            i = left;
            j = right;
            pivot = data[(left + right) / 2];
            do
            {
                while ( (comparer.Compare(data[i], pivot) < 0) && (i < right)) i++;
                while ( (comparer.Compare(pivot, data[j]) < 0) && (j > left)) j--;
                if (i <= j)
                {
                    temp = data[i];
                    data[i] = data[j];
                    data[j] = temp;
                    i++;
                    j--;
                }
            } while (i <= j);
            if (left < j) Quick_Sort(data, left, j, comparer);
            if (i < right) Quick_Sort(data, i, right, comparer);
        }
    }
}

This has two advantages:

1. The type T does NOT need to implement IComparable<T> . You can pass in an IComparer<T> object that does the comparison.
2. You can sort the same data in multiple ways, by passing in different custom IComparer<T> object.

This is the approach adopted by a number of the Linq IEnumerable extensions, for example Enumerable.OrderBy()

Answer 2

Add parameter that allows to change result of comparisons

(data[i].CompareTo(pivot) < 0) 
and 
(pivot.CompareTo(data[j]) < 0)

One simple way: argument descending +1/-1 and use

 data[i].CompareTo(pivot) * descending < 0

Answer 3

Just adding a bit of cream on @Matthew Watson answer. As after reading the post from @Illimar he wanted to give the user the choice in sorting the Array either in Ascending mode or in Descending mode. I have just edited @Matthew work to come up with the following:

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Threading;

   namespace Test1
     {

            class Program
   {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        MySorter();
    }

    static void MySorter()

    {
        int[] data = MyArray();
        Console.WriteLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Chose 1 to sort Ascending or 2 to sort Descending:");
        //int choice = Console.Read();
        ConsoleKeyInfo choice = Console.ReadKey();
        Console.WriteLine();
        if (choice.Key == ConsoleKey.D1 || choice.Key == ConsoleKey.NumPad1)
        {
            QuickSort(data);
            string result = string.Join(", ", data);
            Console.WriteLine(result);
            Thread.Sleep(4000);
        }
        else if (choice.Key == ConsoleKey.D2 || choice.Key == ConsoleKey.NumPad2)
        {
            QuickSort(data, Comparer<int>.Create((a, b) => b.CompareTo(a)));
            Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", data));
            Thread.Sleep(4000);
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("wrong input.");
            Thread.Sleep(2000);
            Environment.Exit(0);
        }
    }

    public static int[] MyArray()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Enter a total of 10 numbers to be sorted: ");
        int[] InputData = new int[10];
        for (int i = 0; i < InputData.Length; i++)
        {
            var pressedkey = Console.ReadKey();
            int number;
            bool result = int.TryParse(pressedkey.KeyChar.ToString(), out number);
            if (result)
            {
                InputData[i] = number;
            }

        }

        return InputData;
    }

    public static void QuickSort<T>(T[] data)
    {
        Quick_Sort(data, 0, data.Length - 1, Comparer<T>.Default);
    }

    public static void QuickSort<T>(T[] data, IComparer<T> comparer)
    {
        Quick_Sort(data, 0, data.Length - 1, comparer);
    }

    public static void Quick_Sort<T>(T[] data, int left, int right, IComparer<T> comparer)
    {
        int i, j;
        T pivot, temp;
        i = left;
        j = right;
        pivot = data[(left + right) / 2];
        do
        {
            while ((comparer.Compare(data[i], pivot) < 0) && (i < right)) i++;
            while ((comparer.Compare(pivot, data[j]) < 0) && (j > left)) j--;
            if (i <= j)
            {
                temp = data[i];
                data[i] = data[j];
                data[j] = temp;
                i++;
                j--;
            }
        } while (i <= j);
        if (left < j) Quick_Sort(data, left, j, comparer);
        if (i < right) Quick_Sort(data, i, right, comparer);
     }

     }

    }

So In the above the User gives the numbers to be sorted as Input and then chooses how the sorting should be done?
