    Unhappy Re: Sorting and Merging

    Ok, I've noticed something, but I've no clue why.

    It seems that my two sub arrays are empty.

    How come?

    As I'm using it, there's no difference. The reasons are mostly historical (in some other languages there were performance advantages to doing ++variable, though in Java I don't believe there is any difference performance wise).

    for (int z = left; z <= right; ++z)
    You're checking 1 too many to the right. Use z < right.

    It seems that my two sub arrays are empty.

    How come?
    Merge sort is a recursive algorithm, and as such it reduces the problem until it becomes elementary. There are 2 such cases: arrays of length 0 and arrays of length 1. Both cases are by default "sorted".

    edit:

    Oh, and last note, you're algorithm is sorting your array in descending order (try running through merge by hand with the following arrays: {1}, {2})

    I want it to sort in ascending order.

    That's part of the reason why I asked if the ++variable instead of variable++ would make a difference.

    Red face Re: Sorting and Merging

    Also
    inplace_merge(array, array[0], array[(int) (array[(array.length -1)] - array[0])/2], array[array.length -1]);

    It doesn't like this line, found in main method.

    Wait.....



    I'm not supposed to be subtracting the values at those indexes, just the indexes for the middle one!

    Let's see what happens when I fix that.

    I seem to be losing at least half of my array.

    Plus, I don't think it's doing it in ascending order.

    Maybe the mergesort will do that.

    {
    	return(B);
    }
     
    if (A.length != 0 && B.length ==0)

    	return(A);
    }
    int x = A.length + B.length;
    int[] C = new int[x];

    Ok, why is right always 1 and left and middle always 0?

    What's wrong with my code?

    Stupid index out of bounds exception for that for loop at the end of inplace_merge.
