Note:<tt>sort</tt> is not guaranteed to be stable. That is, suppose that <tt>*i</tt>and <tt>*j</tt> are equivalent: neither one is less than the other. It isnot guaranteed that the relative order of these two elements will bepreserved by <tt>sort</tt>. <A href="#1">[1]</A><P>The two versions of <tt>sort</tt> differ in how they define whether oneelement is less than another.

The algorithm <tt><A href="stable_sort.html">stable_sort</A></tt> does guarantee to preserve the relative orderingof equivalent elements.<P><A name="2">[2]</A>Earlier versions of <tt>sort</tt> used the <i>quicksort</i> algorithm (C. A. R. Hoare,<i>Comp. J.</i> <b>5</b>, 1962), using a pivot chosen by median of three (R. C. Singleton, <i>CACM</i> <b>12</b>, 1969). Quicksort has<tt>O(N log(N))</tt> average complexity, but quadratic worst-casecomplexity. See section 5.2.2 of Knuth for a discussion. (D. E. Knuth, <i>The Art of Computer Programming. Volume 3: Sorting and Searching</i>. Addison-Wesley, 1975.) The current implementationof <tt>sort</tt>, however, uses the <i>introsort</i> algorithm (D. R.Musser, "Introspective Sorting and Selection Algorithms", <i>Software Practice and Experience</i> <b>27</b>(8):983, 1997.)whose worst case complexity is <tt>O(N log(N))</tt>.Introsort is very similar to median-of-three quicksort, and is atleast as fast as quicksort on average.<h3>See also</h3><tt><A href="stable_sort.html">stable_sort</A></tt>,<tt><A href="partial_sort.html">partial_sort</A></tt>,<tt><A href="partial_sort_copy.html">partial_sort_copy</A></tt>,<tt><A href="sort_heap.html">sort_heap</A></tt>,<tt><A href="is_sorted.html">is_sorted</A></tt>,<tt><A href="binary_search.html">binary_search</A></tt>,<tt><A href="lower_bound.html">lower_bound</A></tt>,<tt><A href="upper_bound.html">upper_bound</A></tt>,<tt><A href="less.html">less</A><T></tt>,<A href="StrictWeakOrdering.html">StrictWeakOrdering</A>,<A href="LessThanComparable.html">LessThan Comparable</A><!--start footer--> <HR SIZE="6"><A href="http://www.sgi.com/"><IMG SRC="surf.gif" HEIGHT="54" WIDTH="54" ALT="[Silicon Surf]"></A><A HREF="index.html"><IMG SRC="stl_home.gif" HEIGHT="54" WIDTH="54" ALT="[STL Home]"></A><BR><FONT SIZE="-2"><A href="http://www.sgi.com/Misc/sgi_info.html" TARGET="_top">Copyright © 1999 Silicon Graphics, Inc.</A> All Rights Reserved.</FONT><FONT SIZE="-3"><a href="http://www.sgi.com/Misc/external.list.html" TARGET="_top">TrademarkInformation</A></FONT><P></BODY></HTML> ⌨️ 快捷键说明
