How could be the algorithm for this problem? - arrays

I have this data structure problem:
Implement an external sort method with two helper files. The separation
The initial file in chunks follows the following strategy: 20 elements are read from the file in chunks.
an array and are sorted with the internal sort method quicksort. Then it
writes the smallest element of the array to the auxiliary file and reads the next element from the
source file. If the element read is greater than the element written (it is part of the section
current), then it is inserted in order into the ordered subarray; otherwise it is added in
the free positions of the array. Because the elements of the array are extracted by the head
free positions remain on the opposite end. The section ends when the
sorted subarray is empty. To form the next section, start by ordering the array
(remember that the elements that were not part of the section were added to the array) and
then the process continues in the same way: write the smaller element to another file
helper and read element from the source file... Once the distribution is done, the phase of
mixing is the same as in the direct or natural mixing algorithms.
I'm thinking of this algorithm:

First element in the aux file 1: 3
After this point I don't know what the algorithm has to do to order the remaining 5 elements

Add Countif to Array Formula (Subtotal) in Excel

I am new to array formulae and have noticed that while SUBTOTAL includes many functions, it does not feature COUNTIF (only COUNT and COUNTA).
I'm trying to figure out how I can integrate a COUNTIF-like feature to my array formula.
I have a matrix, a small subset of which looks like:
A B C D E
48 53 46 64 66
48 66 89
40 38 42 49 44
37 33 35 39 41
Thanks to the help of #Tom Shape in this post, I (he) was able to average the sum of each row in the matrix provided it had complete data (so rows 2 and 4 in the example above would not be included).
Now I would like to count the number of rows with complete data (so rows 2 and 4 would be ignored) which include at least one value above a given threshold (say 45).
In the current example, the result would be 2, since row 1 has 5/5 values > 45, and row 3 has 1 value > 45. Row 5 has values < 45 and rows 2 and 3 have partially or fully missing data, respectively.
I have recently discovered the SUMPRODUCT function and think that perhaps SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:E1 >= 45 could be useful but I'm not sure how to integrate it within Tom Sharpe's elegant code, e.g.,
=AVERAGE(IF(SUBTOTAL(2,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1)))=COLUMNS(A1:E1),SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1))),""))
Remember, I am no longer looking for the average: I want to filter rows for whether they have full data, and if they do, I want to count rows with at least 1 entry > 45.
Try the following. Enter as array formula.
=COUNT(IF(SUBTOTAL(4,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1)))>45,IF(SUBTOTAL(2,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1)))=COLUMNS(A1:E1),SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1))))))

Multi-Dimensional Arrays Julia

I am new to using Julia and have little experience with the language. I am trying to understand how multi-dimensional arrays work in it and how to access the array at the different dimensions. The documentation confuses me, so maybe someone here can explain it better.
I created an array (m = Array{Int64}(6,3)) and am trying to access the different parts of that array. Clearly I am understanding it wrong so any help in general about Arrays/Multi-Dimensional Arrays would help.
Thanks
Edit I am trying to read a file in that has the contents
58 129 10
58 129 7
25 56 10
24 125 25
24 125 15
13 41 10
0
The purpose of the project is to take these fractions (58/129) and round the fractions using farey sequence. The last number in the row is what both numbers need to be below. Currently, I am not looking for help on how to do the problem, just how to create a multidimensional array with all the numbers except the last row (0). My trouble is how to put the numbers into the array after I have created it.
So I want m[0][0] = 58, so on. I'm not sure how syntax works for this and the manual is confusing. Hopefully this is enough information.
Julia's arrays are not lists-of-lists or arrays of pointers. They are a single container, with elements arranged in a rectangular shape. As such, you do not access successive dimensions with repeated indexing calls like m[j][i] — instead you use one indexing call with multiple indices: m[i, j].
If you trim off that last 0 in your file, you can just use the built-in readdlm to load that file into a matrix. I've copied those first six rows into my clipboard to make it a bit easier to follow here:
julia> str = clipboard()
"58 129 10\n58 129 7\n25 56 10\n24 125 25\n24 125 15\n13 41 10"
julia> readdlm(IOBuffer(str), Int) # or readdlm("path/to/trimmed/file", Int)
6×3 Array{Int64,2}:
58 129 10
58 129 7
25 56 10
24 125 25
24 125 15
13 41 10
That's not very helpful in teaching you how Julia's arrays work, though. Constructing an array like m = Array{Int64}(6,3) creates an uninitialized matrix with 18 elements arranged in 6 rows and 3 columns. It's a bit easier to see how things work if we fill it with a sensible pattern:
julia> m .= [10,20,30,40,50,60] .+ [1 2 3]
6×3 Array{Int64,2}:
11 12 13
21 22 23
31 32 33
41 42 43
51 52 53
61 62 63
This has set up the values of the array to have the row number in their tens place and the column number in the ones place. Accessing m[r,c] returns the value in m at row r and column c.
julia> m[2,3] # second row, third column
23
Now, r and c don't have to be integers — they can also be vectors of integers to select multiple rows or columns:
julia> m[[2,3,4],[1,2]] # Selects rows 2, 3, and 4 across columns 1 and 2
3×2 Array{Int64,2}:
21 22
31 32
41 42
Of course ranges like 2:4 are just vectors themselves, so you can more easily and efficiently write that example as m[2:4, 1:2]. A : by itself is a shorthand for a vector of all the indices within the dimension it indexes into:
julia> m[1, :] # the first row of all columns
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
11
12
13
julia> m[:, 1] # all rows of the first column
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
11
21
31
41
51
61
Finally, note that Julia's Array is column-major and arranged contiguously in memory. This means that if you just use one index, like m[2], you're just going to walk down that first column. As a special extension, we support what's commonly referred to as "linear indexing", where we allow that single index to span into the higher dimensions. So m[7] accesses the 7th contiguous element, wrapping around into the first row of the second column:
julia> m[5],m[6],m[7],m[8]
(51, 61, 12, 22)

Use merge sort to sort a list with only swap and rotation and one another list

I have two list : list A containing a set of random numbers and list B empty. I have to sort the list A.
I can make limited operations on these two lists like :
move the first element of list A or B at the beginning of the list B or A
swap the two first elements of list A or B like 32 41 8 9 become 41 32 8 9
make the last element of list A or B become the first in this list (rotation) like 32 41 8 9 become 9 32 41 8
make the first element of list A or B become the last one in this list (rotation) like 32 41 8 9 become 41 8 9 32
I have already set up an algorithm to sort the list A using the list B as the stack and the set of allowed operations, but it takes time when the list becomes large (more than 1000 elements) and is therefore not performing at all.
So I looked on the side of the merge sort which is very nice for its performance with the linked lists that I use.
The problem is that the use of this one needs to cut lists into other sublists, but in my case I have the right only has two lists and the operations that I explained.
Is it possible to make a effective merge sort according to the guidelines? How to make this algorithm?

How to identify breaks within an array of MATLAB?

I have an array in MATLAB containing elements such as
A=[12 13 14 15 30 31 32 33 58 59 60];
How can I identify breaks in values of data? For example, the above data exhibits breaks at elements 15 and 33. The elements are arranged in ascending order and have an increment of one. How can I identify the location of breaks of this pattern in an array? I have achieved this using a for and if statement (code below). Is there a better method to do so?
count=0;
for i=1:numel(A)-1
if(A(i+1)==A(i)+1)
continue;
else
count=count+1;
q(count)=i;
end
end
Good time to use diff and find those neighbouring differences that aren't equal to 1. However, this will return an array which is one less than the length of your input array because it finds pairwise differences up until the last element, so naturally there will be one less. As such, when you find the locations that aren't equal to 1, make sure you add 1 to the locations to account for this:
>> A=[12 13 14 15 30 31 32 33 58 59 60];
>> q = find(diff(A) ~= 1) + 1
q =
5 9
This tells us that locations 5 and 9 in your array is where the jump happens, and that's right for your example data.
However, if you want to find the locations before the jump happens, such as in your code, don't add 1 to the result:
>> q = find(diff(A) ~= 1)
q =
4 8

To get index of an sorted array into another array in C

I have 2 arrays say
sum:
68
78
25
45
85
Index:
0
1
2
3
4
I did bubble sort on sum and got as:
25
45
68
78
85
Now, I need to know sort index array with respect to the sum array. So, my output of array should be:
2
3
0
1
4
How can I do that?
I'd recommend you sort the index array instead, and have the comparisons made using the values the indexes "point" to. So then you don't actually need to sort the "value" array just the "index" array.
So, here is a very simple solution that I never thought of and all credits goes to my project supervisor.. and it is.
Sort both the arrays under the same loop.. Thus when ever I will refer to any index, it will give me the sorted version.
