qsort

void qsort (void* base, size_t num, size_t size,int (*compar)(const void*,const void*));

Sort elements of array

Sorts the num elements of the array pointed to by base, each element size bytes long, using the compar function to determine the order.

The sorting algorithm used by this function compares pairs of elements by calling the specified compar function with pointers to them as argument.

The function does not return any value, but modifies the content of the array pointed to by base reordering its elements as defined by compar.

The order of equivalent elements is undefined.

Parameters

base

Pointer to the first object of the array to be sorted, converted to a void*.

num

Number of elements in the array pointed to by base.
size_t is an unsigned integral type.

size

Size in bytes of each element in the array.
size_t is an unsigned integral type.

compar

Pointer to a function that compares two elements.
This function is called repeatedly by qsort to compare two elements. It shall follow the following prototype:

int compar (const void* p1, const void* p2);

Taking two pointers as arguments (both converted to const void*). The function defines the order of the elements by returning (in a stable and transitive manner):

return value	meaning
<0	The element pointed to by p1 goes before the element pointed to by p2
0	The element pointed to by p1 is equivalent to the element pointed to by p2
>0	The element pointed to by p1 goes after the element pointed to by p2

For types that can be compared using regular relational operators, a general compar function may look like:

1 2 3 4 5 6

int compareMyType (const void * a, const void * b) {if ( *(MyType*)a < *(MyType*)b ) return -1;if ( *(MyType*)a == *(MyType*)b ) return 0;if ( *(MyType*)a > *(MyType*)b ) return 1; }

Return Value

none

（本文默认采用从小到大排序）

一、对int类型数组排序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define N 10int cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{return *((int*)a) - *((int*)b);
}int main()
{srand((unsigned)time(NULL));int num[100];for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){num[i] = rand() % 100;}puts("待排序数组：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%d ", num[i]);}putchar('\n');qsort(num, N, sizeof(num[0]), cmp);puts("排序后：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%d ", num[i]);}
}

三、对double类型数组排序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define N 10int cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{return *((double*)a) > *((double*)b) ? 1 : -1;
}int main()
{srand((unsigned)time(NULL));double num[100];for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){num[i] = rand() % 100 / 2.0;}puts("待排序数组：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%.1f ", num[i]);}putchar('\n');qsort(num, N, sizeof(num[0]), cmp);puts("排序后：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%.1f ", num[i]);}
}

四、对结构体一级排序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define N 10typedef struct SCORE
{int chinese;int math;int english;
}SCORE;int cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{return ((SCORE*)a)->chinese - ((SCORE*)b)->chinese;
}int main()
{srand((unsigned)time(NULL));SCORE scores[100];for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){scores[i].chinese = rand() % 100;scores[i].math = rand() % 100;scores[i].english = rand() % 100;}puts("待排序数据：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%d %d %d\n", scores[i].chinese, scores[i].math, scores[i].english);}putchar('\n');qsort(scores, N, sizeof(SCORE), cmp);puts("排序后：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%d %d %d\n", scores[i].chinese, scores[i].math, scores[i].english);}
}

五、对结构体二级排序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define N 10typedef struct SCORE
{int chinese;int math;int english;
}SCORE;int cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{if (((SCORE*)a)->chinese != ((SCORE*)b)->chinese){return ((SCORE*)a)->chinese - ((SCORE*)b)->chinese;}else{return ((SCORE*)a)->math - ((SCORE*)b)->math;}
}int main()
{srand((unsigned)time(NULL));SCORE scores[100];for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){scores[i].chinese = rand() % 100;scores[i].math = rand() % 100;scores[i].english = rand() % 100;}puts("待排序数据：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%d %d %d\n", scores[i].chinese, scores[i].math, scores[i].english);}putchar('\n');qsort(scores, N, sizeof(SCORE), cmp);puts("排序后：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%d %d %d\n", scores[i].chinese, scores[i].math, scores[i].english);}
}

六、对字符串进行排序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define N 3typedef struct PERSON
{char name[20];int age;
}PERSON;int cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{return strcmp(((PERSON*)a)->name, ((PERSON*)b)->name);
}int main()
{PERSON persons[N];strcpy(persons[0].name, "aab");persons[0].age = 10;strcpy(persons[1].name, "abc");persons[1].age = 11;strcpy(persons[2].name, "aaa");persons[2].age = 12;puts("待排序数据：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%s %d\n", persons[i].name, persons[i].age);}putchar('\n');qsort(persons, N, sizeof(PERSON), cmp);puts("排序后：");for (int i = 0; i < N; i++){printf("%s %d\n", persons[i].name, persons[i].age);}
}
