Thanks for your reply!
Why would we rather do comparison sorts in these situations? I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind it.
I usually see radix_sort
implementations with division and modulo operators around a certain base, but this is the first time I've seen one with a little bit of bit manipulation, so I'm interested in understanding the logic/reasoning behind it and good input to think of ways to improve my library.
Thanks in advance.
Hello @nealwu,
First, I'm sorry to do it this way, but I wanted to ask about some points in the
radix_sort.cpp
file, specifically theradix_sort
function.I was trying to understand the point of some parts of the function, and I was hoping you might help.
max_bits
andpasses
this way? I assume the function is generalized to handle -ve numbers too, but this is taken care of in lines similar to lines 54 and 55 in the function.I'm trying to solve this problem as a practice for
radix_sort
with a custom base, and was studying/learning different implementations for radix_sort.Best Regards, Omar Abdelrahman
