##Description Sorting module capable of sorting large scale arrays of strings, numbers, or a combination of either.
Currently supporting Merge sort and Quick sort
##Usage
-
require 'pavsort'is listed in your file -
Pavsort::Method.sort(array)where method is the type of sort you wish to apply, and array is your unsorted dataset. Currently, the two methods implemented are Quick and Merge sort. -
That's it! Pavsort applies high speed sorting methods that are numerically and case agnostic. If your dataset contains numbers and strings, the numbers will be sorted at the beginning of the dataset followed by the sorted strings. For example:
Pavsort::Quick.sort(['a', 4, 1, 'X', 'z'])will be sorted into[1, 4, 'a', 'X', 'z']
##Contribute Feel free to contribute! I would love to continue expanding the gem to include more features, more sorts, general refactors and information / illustrations on how the various sorts function.
Please be sure to fork the repo, add your changes and tests, and submit a pull request.
To run the tests, be sure to bundle and then run rspec
There are several benchmark tests that sort 100K word files. Each method is expected to take less than 10 seconds to sort the file but in general finishes within 4-5 seconds.
