Bucket SortBucket Sort runs in linear time on average. Like Counting Sort, bucket Sort is fast because it considers something about the input. Bucket Sort considers that the input is generated by a random process that distributes elements uniformly over the intervalμ=[0,1]. To sort n input numbers, Bucket Sort
Bucket Sort considers that the input is an n element array A and that each element A [i] in the array satisfies 0≤A [i] <1. The code depends upon an auxiliary array B [0....n-1] of linked lists (buckets) and considers that there is a mechanism for maintaining such lists. BUCKET-SORT (A) 1. n ← length [A] 2. for i ← 1 to n 3. do insert A [i] into list B [n A[i]] 4. for i ← 0 to n-1 5. do sort list B [i] with insertion sort. 6. Concatenate the lists B [0], B [1] ...B [n-1] together in order. Example: Illustrate the operation of BUCKET-SORT on the array. A = (0.78, 0.17, 0.39, 0.26, 0.72, 0.94, 0.21, 0.12, 0.23, 068) Solution: Fig: Bucket sort: step 1, placing keys in bins in sorted order Fig: Bucket sort: step 2, concatenate the lists Fig: Bucket sort: the final sorted sequence
