歸并排序算法的實現步驟如下:
public static void merge(int[] arr, int left, int mid, int right) {
int n1 = mid - left + 1;
int n2 = right - mid;
int[] L = new int[n1];
int[] R = new int[n2];
for (int i = 0; i < n1; ++i) {
L[i] = arr[left + i];
}
for (int j = 0; j < n2; ++j) {
R[j] = arr[mid + 1 + j];
}
int i = 0, j = 0;
int k = left;
while (i < n1 && j < n2) {
if (L[i] <= R[j]) {
arr[k] = L[i];
i++;
} else {
arr[k] = R[j];
j++;
}
k++;
}
while (i < n1) {
arr[k] = L[i];
i++;
k++;
}
while (j < n2) {
arr[k] = R[j];
j++;
k++;
}
}
public static void mergeSort(int[] arr, int left, int right) {
if (left < right) {
int mid = (left + right) / 2;
mergeSort(arr, left, mid);
mergeSort(arr, mid + 1, right);
merge(arr, left, mid, right);
}
}
int[] arr = {5, 2, 8, 3, 1, 9, 4, 6, 7};
mergeSort(arr, 0, arr.length - 1);
這樣,數組arr將會被歸并排序算法排序。
