How to sort array with Shell sort?
C# | .NET | Algorithms
The Shell sort is a variation of the insertion sort. The algorithm performs h-sorting to sort virtual subarrays consisting of elements with distance equal to h, using the insertion sort. At the beginning, h is set to a half of the array length and is divided by 2 in each iteration, until it is equal to 1.
The code is as follows:
void Sort(int[] a)
{
for (int h = a.Length / 2; h > 0; h /= 2)
{
for (int i = h; i < a.Length; i++)
{
int j = i;
int ai = a[i];
while (j >= h && a[j - h] > ai)
{
a[j] = a[j - h];
j -= h;
}
a[j] = ai;
}
}
}
