Class BooleanArrays
In particular, the forceCapacity()
, ensureCapacity()
, grow()
,
trim()
and setLength()
methods allow to handle arrays much like array lists. This
can be very useful when efficiency (or syntactic simplicity) reasons make array lists unsuitable.
Note that BinIO
and TextIO
contain several methods make it possible to load and save arrays of primitive types as sequences
of elements in DataInput
format (i.e., not as objects) or as sequences of lines
of text.
Sorting
There are several sorting methods available. The main theme is that of letting you choose the sorting algorithm you prefer (i.e., trading stability of mergesort for no memory allocation in quicksort).
Parallel operations
Some algorithms provide a parallel version that will by default use the common pool, but this can be overridden by calling the function in a task already in theForkJoinPool
that the operation should run in. For
example, something along the lines of
"poolToParallelSortIn.invoke(() -> parallelQuickSort(arrayToSort))
" will run the parallel
sort in poolToParallelSortIn
instead of the default pool.
Some algorithms also provide an explicit indirect sorting facility, which makes it
possible to sort an array using the values in another array as comparator.
However, if you wish to let the implementation choose an algorithm for you, both
stableSort(boolean[], int, int)
and unstableSort(boolean[], int, int)
methods are available, which dynamically chooses an
algorithm based on unspecified criteria (but most likely stability, array size, and array element
type).
All comparison-based algorithm have an implementation based on a type-specific comparator.
As a general rule, sequential radix sort is significantly faster than quicksort or mergesort, in particular on random-looking data. In the parallel case, up to a few cores parallel radix sort is still the fastest, but at some point quicksort exploits parallelism better.
If you are fine with not knowing exactly which algorithm will be run (in particular, not knowing
exactly whether a support array will be allocated), the dual-pivot parallel sorts in
Arrays
are about 50% faster than the classical single-pivot implementation used
here.
In any case, if sorting time is important I suggest that you benchmark your sorting load with your data distribution and on your architecture.

public static void parallelQuickSort(boolean[] x, boolean[] y) Sorts two arrays according to the natural lexicographical ascending order using a parallel quicksort.The sorting algorithm is a tuned quicksort adapted from Jon L. Bentley and M. Douglas McIlroy, “Engineering a Sort Function”, Software: Practice and Experience, 23(11), pages 1249−1265, 1993.
This method implements a lexicographical sorting of the arguments. Pairs of elements in the same position in the two provided arrays will be considered a single key, and permuted accordingly. In the end, either
x[i] < x[i + 1]
orx[i] == x[i + 1]
andy[i] ≤ y[i + 1]
.- Parameters:
x
- the first array to be sorted.y
- the second array to be sorted.

unstableSort
public static void unstableSort(boolean[] a, int from, int to) Sorts an array according to the natural ascending order, potentially dynamically choosing an appropriate algorithm given the type and size of the array. The sort will be stable unless it is provable that it would be impossible for there to be any difference between a stable and unstable sort for the given type, in which case stability is meaningless and thus unspecified.- Parameters:
a
- the array to be sorted.from
- the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.to
- the index of the last element (exclusive) to be sorted.- Since:
- 8.3.0
-
unstableSort
public static void unstableSort(boolean[] a) Sorts the specified range of elements according to the natural ascending order potentially dynamically choosing an appropriate algorithm given the type and size of the array. No assurance is made of the stability of the sort.- Parameters:
a
- the array to be sorted.- Since:
- 8.3.0
-
unstableSort
Sorts the specified range of elements according to the order induced by the specified comparator, potentially dynamically choosing an appropriate algorithm given the type and size of the array. No assurance is made of the stability of the sort.- Parameters:

- the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.to
- the index of the last element (exclusive) to be sorted.comp
- the comparator to determine the sorting order.- Since:

mergeSort
public static void mergeSort(boolean[] a, int from, int to, boolean[] supp) Sorts the specified range of elements according to the natural ascending order using mergesort, using a given pre-filled support array.This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort. Moreover, no support arrays will be allocated.
- Parameters:
a
- the array to be sorted.from
- the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.to
- the index of the last element (exclusive) to be sorted.supp
- a support array containing at leastto
elements, and whose entries are identical to those ofa
in the specified range. It can benull
, in which casea
will be cloned.
