Hi,
yes it is homework , this is result :
#! /usr/bin/python
def sort(numbers):
"sort n positive integers in O(n) provided that they are all < n^2"
N = len(numbers) # get size of test numbers
buckets_mod = [[] for i in xrange(N)]
buckets_sorted = [[] for i in xrange(N+1)]
# group numbers to buckets (list of numbers) with common modulus
for n in numbers:
buckets_mod[n % N].append(n)
print "buckets_mod: %s" % buckets_mod
# check numbers in buckets
for l in buckets_mod:
for n in l:
# place number into bucket number grouped by
result of division
buckets_sorted[n / N].append(n)
print "buckets_sorted: %s" % buckets_sorted
# search through sorted buckets and return list of sorted numbers
return [n for l in buckets_sorted for n in l]
Hope it is optimal and OK, what you guys thinks?
Thanks in advance!
