A 'slow sort' - any points to make?












0














A 'slow sort' is probably the slowest practical sort. It compares each element with the elements after it, and swaps immediately if one is greater than the other, and goes back to the start of the array.



For example:




CBAD -> BCAD -> ACBD -> ABCD




My code:






function go() {
var arrLen=Math.floor(Math.random()*20)+30;
var arr=Array.from({length:arrLen}).map(()=>Math.floor(Math.random()*20)); // make random array
txtIn.textContent=arr; //display
//txtOut1.textContent=arr.sort(function(a,b) {return -(a<b);}); // native sort
txtOut1.textContent=arr.sort((a,b)=>a-b); // native sort
var srcPos=0,dstPos,tmp; // declare variables
while (srcPos<arrLen-1) {
dstPos=srcPos+1;
while (dstPos<arrLen) { // three swap routines
if (arr[srcPos]>arr[dstPos]) {tmp=arr[srcPos];arr[srcPos]=arr[dstPos];arr[dstPos]=tmp;srcPos=0;break}
//if (arr[srcPos]>arr[dstPos]) {arr[srcPos]^=arr[dstPos];arr[dstPos]^=arr[srcPos];arr[srcPos]^=arr[dstPos];srcPos=0;break}
//if (arr[srcPos]>arr[dstPos]) {arr[srcPos]+=arr[dstPos];arr[dstPos]=arr[srcPos]-arr[srcPos];arr[srcPos]+=arr[dstPos];srcPos=0;break}
srcPos++;
dstPos++;
}
}
txtOut2.textContent=arr; //display
}

<span id='txtIn' style='display:overflow; width:200px; border:2px grey solid'></span><label>data</label><br>
<span id='txtOut1' style='display:overflow; width:200px; border:2px red solid'></span><label>native sort</label><br>
<span id='txtOut2' style='display:overflow; width:200px; border:2px red solid'></span><label>slowsort</label><br>
<button onclick='go();'>go</button>





I have included three swap types, tmp, XOR and add, and commented out two of them. The native sort includes a EMCA2015 arrow function version.



It seems to work okay - admittedly I haven't tested it for other data types, but any feedback would be appreciated.
