Sobre Code-Bowling:

En golf, intenta obtener la puntuación más baja (aplicación más pequeña, más elegante, etc.). En Bowling, intentas obtener la puntuación más alta. Entonces, si sigue, el objetivo de un desafío de Code-Bowling es hacer que el código más grande, más bastardo, más difícil de mantener y que aún cumpla con los requisitos del desafío. Sin embargo, no tiene sentido alargar la fuente por el simple hecho de hacerlo. Tiene que parecer que esa longitud adicional fue del diseño y no solo del relleno.

El reto:

Cree un programa que clasifique una lista de números en orden ascendente.

Ejemplo:

Entrada: 1, 4, 7, 2, 5

Salida: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7

Código: Obviamente, esta no sería una buena respuesta, ya que no hay muchos WTF allí

function doSort(array $input) {
    sort($input);
    return $input;
}

Reglas:

No hay reglas reales. Mientras el programa funcione, ¡tenlo!

Recuerde: esto es un juego de bolos en código, no golf. ¡El objetivo es crear el peor código más bastardo que puedas! Puntos de bonificación para el código que se ve bien, pero en realidad es engañosamente malvado ...

Ordenar por entrada del usuario. ¿Qué puede ser peor?

function sort(array) {
    newArray = new Array
    notSorted = true;
    while (notSorted) {
        sortfail = false;
        i = -1
        for (;;) {
            if ((++i + 1) == array.length) break;
            if (confirm("is " + array[i] + " less than " + array[i + 1])) {
                newArray[i] = array[i]
                newArray[i + 1] = array[i + 1]
            } else {
                newArray[i] = array[i + 1]
                newArray[i + 1] = array[i]
                array[i] = newArray[i]
                array[i + 1] = newArray[i + 1]
                sortfail = true
            }
        }
        array = newArray;
        if (!sortfail) notSorted = false
    }
    return array
}

console.log(sort([2,1,3]))

Ver ejemplo en vivo

class Array
  def sort
    self.permutation.min
  end
end

Ah, la elegancia de Ruby ... la autopermutación resulta en un enumerador. Ningún daño hecho, todavía. Sin embargo, el .min de aspecto inocente absorbe este enumerador en una matriz. El tamaño de esta matriz explota cuando aumenta el número de elementos. Sin mencionar que esto arruina un buen tipo preexistente.

Iba por el aspecto de "cada línea parece el mismo ruido de línea". La primera línea de entrada (en STDIN) le dice al programa cuántos números hay, mientras que la siguiente N cantidad de líneas contiene un número que necesita ser ordenado.

Bogosort genérico multiproceso en Java

46 segundos para ordenar 4 números

Pensé que sería elegante con soporte para genéricos. Además, el subprocesamiento múltiple siempre es bueno, así que lo uso en lugar de la aleatorización: este programa genera un hilo para cada número que se ordenará. Cada subproceso intenta insertar su elemento en un objeto de matriz, y cuando se hayan insertado todos los elementos, el programa verificará si la matriz está ordenada. Si no, intente nuevamente. Por supuesto, esta inserción necesita ser sincronizada.

ElementInserter

Esta será la clase que usaremos para los hilos. Esta clase contiene un elemento e intenta insertarlo en su sortedArray:

class ElementInserter<E extends Comparable<? super E>> implements Runnable {
    E element;
    SortedArray<? super E> target;

    ElementInserter(E e, SortedArray<? super E> a) {
        element = e;
        target = a;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        target.insert(element);
    }
}

ordenados

Tiene un método de inserción directo. Cuando se inserta el último elemento, verifica si la matriz está ordenada.

class SortedArray<E extends Comparable<? super E>> {
    boolean sorted; int i = 0; E[] a;

    SortedArray(E[] e) { a = e; }

    synchronized public void insert(E e) {
        while (!sorted) {
            a[i++] = e;

            if (i == a.length) {
                sorted = true;

                for (int j = 1; j < i; ++j)
                    if (a[j-1].compareTo(a[j]) > 0) {
                        sorted = false;
                        i = 0;
                        notifyAll();
                    }

                if (sorted) {
                    for (int j = 0; j < a.length; ++j) System.out.print(a[j]+" ");
                    System.out.println();
                    notifyAll(); // allow all threads to terminate
                }

            } else
                try { wait(); }
                catch(InterruptedException x) { }
        }
    }
}

Método principal

Analiza los argumentos de la línea de comandos como enteros, crea una nueva matriz y un nuevo hilo para cada entero:

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Integer[] i = new Integer[args.length];
        SortedArray<Integer> c = new SortedArray<Integer>(i);

        for (String s : args)
            new Thread(new ElementInserter<Integer>(Integer.parseInt(s), c)).start();
    }

Prueba de funcionamiento

El tiempo de ejecución dependerá del orden original de los elementos y la implementación de su planificador. Esto está en un MacBook Pro Intel i7 de doble núcleo a 2.9 GHz:

$ time java Main 3 1 2 4
1 2 3 4 

real    0m46.307s
user    0m14.629s
sys     0m26.207s

JavaScript (con animación!). 8172 caracteres. Pocas horas para 6 números.

Es como una de esas ruedas de lotería, y cada vez que se detiene cambia a números en el medio. Puedes jugar aquí: http://jsfiddle.net/VkJUE/5/ (para entender lo que quiero decir)

Funciona, un poco, excepto que puede tomar horas para 6 números. Sin embargo, lo probé en 3 números y funciona bien.

Python quicksort usando lambda

Algo que escribí en mi blog:

qsort = lambda seq: [] if not seq else qsort(filter(lambda n: n<=seq[0], seq[1:]))+[seq[0]]+qsort(filter(lambda n: n>seq[0], seq[1:]))

Algunas cosas "malas" sobre este programa:

• Muy fibroso. :) Podría haber simplemente ingresado los números directamente, en lugar de analizar la cadena de números.

• Utiliza clases excesivas. También podría haber usado los incorporados, pero un mal programador simplemente reinventaría la rueda.

• El bucle para el género es terriblemente ineficiente. Creo que es la forma más lenta posible, sin que parezca que realmente intenté hacerlo más lento. En realidad, la parte real de "ordenar" del código es solo como 11 líneas, incluidas las llaves y los saltos de línea.

Este es O (n * n!)

from itertools import permutations, izip, islice
L=[10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]
for l in permutations(L):
    if all([i<j for i,j in izip(L, islice(L,1,None))]):
        break
print l

Repite todas las permutaciones de la lista y comprueba si están ordenadas. Es tan horrible que clasificar solo 10 elementos lleva 17 segundos

Naturalmente, con T-SQL, utiliza "ORDER BY" para ordenar. Duhhh

DECLARE @LISTIN NVARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT @LISTIN = N'1, 4, 7, 2, 5'; --Input list goes here.
DECLARE @LISTINDEX BIGINT;
SELECT @LISTINDEX = 0;
DECLARE @CHARS NVARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT @CHARS = N'';
DECLARE @LISTOUT NVARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT @LISTOUT = N'';
DECLARE @ORDERBY TABLE (NUMBER NVARCHAR(MAX));
WHILE @LISTINDEX < LEN(@LISTIN) BEGIN;
SELECT @LISTINDEX = @LISTINDEX + 1;
SELECT @CHARS = @CHARS + SUBSTRING(@LISTIN, @LISTINDEX, 1);
IF PATINDEX(N'%, ', @CHARS) > 0 BEGIN;
INSERT INTO @ORDERBY (NUMBER) VALUES (REPLACE(@CHARS, N', ', N''));
SELECT @CHARS = N'';
END;
IF @LISTINDEX = LEN(@LISTIN) BEGIN;
INSERT INTO @ORDERBY (NUMBER) VALUES (@CHARS);
END;
END;
DECLARE ORDERBY CURSOR FOR SELECT NUMBER FROM @ORDERBY ORDER BY CONVERT(DECIMAL, NUMBER);
OPEN ORDERBY;
FETCH NEXT FROM ORDERBY INTO @CHARS;
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN;
SELECT @LISTOUT = @LISTOUT + @CHARS + N', ';
FETCH NEXT FROM ORDERBY INTO @CHARS;
END;
CLOSE ORDERBY;
DEALLOCATE ORDERBY;
IF @LISTOUT = N'' SELECT @LISTOUT;
ELSE SELECT SUBSTRING(@LISTOUT, 1, LEN(@LISTOUT) - 1);

Ver el "ORDENAR POR" Está justo allí en la declaración del cursor.

create sql connection
create temporary table: one autoincrementing ID field and one value field
convert array into xml
post xml to sql database
use stored procedure to create records from xml
run sql command "select * from temptable sort by value"
iterate records, adding to array
drop temporary table
close connection

Esta es una respuesta al comentario de @ eBusiness en la respuesta de @ steenslag. No sirve a ningún propósito útil.

Tiene 4 etapas:

1. Tome una lista de números separados por comas y calcule cuántas comas contiene.
2. Use el número de comas para dividir la cadena posicionalmente en función de las comas.
3. Recorra el número conocido de valores y encuentre el valor mínimo cada vez, eliminando el mínimo anterior a medida que avanzamos.
4. Salida de ellos.

Como puede ver, es ridículo ... Las cosas malas incluyen:

• Haciendo esto en SQL

Eso es más o menos en realidad, debería ser extremadamente rápido.

Tanto la elección del lenguaje como el algoritmo deben explicarse.

Este algoritmo se llama ordenamiento lento. Tengo la intención de vencer a bogosort (probar permutaciones aleatorias hasta que se solucione) porque, aunque algorítmicamente terriblemente ineficiente, su implementación es demasiado simple y no se puede garantizar su lentitud.

Codifico la ordenación lenta en Scheme porque el objetivo principal de Scheme es ser simple, lo que lo convierte en un desafío mayor. Una característica interesante de Scheme es su inmejorable extensibilidad; de hecho, las implementaciones del lenguaje se implementan comúnmente (a menudo completamente) en el propio Esquema. Aún mejor: todo lo que necesitas son abstracciones (lambdas) y aplicaciones. Las aplicaciones se evalúan en notación de prefijo:

(function arg1 arg2 ...)

... es solo azúcar sintáctico para:

(apply function (list arg1 arg2 ...))

... que aplica una función a las listas de argumentos.

Para eliminar este boliche de código, tengo que redefinir la función max para dividir recursivamente la lista hasta que pueda compararse a sí misma. La función min también se redefine de forma recursiva usando max eliminando todos los máximos hasta que quede un número. Finalmente, el orden se redefine agregando sucesivamente los mínimos.

La ordenación lenta se basa en "multiplicar y rendirse", en lugar de "dividir y conquistar". Funciona mediante la extracción recursiva de los máximos hasta que quede el mínimo, agregando el mínimo resultante cada vez a la solución y reiniciando hasta que se hayan agregado todos los mínimos. Si bien es totalmente ineficiente, mi implementación reutiliza los cálculos tanto como sea posible porque: 1) Es necesario para el algoritmo 2) Es posible que desee que este tipo termine algún día ...

Java exagerado desorden / pesadez

Solo funciona si todos los elementos son inferiores a 9e99 :)

>>> L=[10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]
>>> 
>>> print [[min(L),L.__setitem__(L.index(min(L)),9e99)][0] for i in L]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Cada vez a través del ciclo, extraiga el elemento más pequeño y reemplácelo con 9e99

Si la lista está ordenada, imprímala. De lo contrario, intercambie dos elementos que estén en el orden incorrecto, luego genere un script de Python que maneje el nuevo orden. Después de ejecutar eso, elimine el script creado.

list_to_sort = input()
n = 0
n += 1
import sys, os
for i in range(len(list_to_sort)-1):
    if list_to_sort[i]>list_to_sort[i+1]:
        (list_to_sort[i],list_to_sort[i+1]) = (list_to_sort[i+1],list_to_sort[i])
        source_file = open(sys.argv[0],'r')
        temp_filename = 'temp'+repr(n)+'.py'
        temp_file = open(temp_filename,'w')
        temp_file.write('list_to_sort = ' + repr(list_to_sort) + '\n')
        temp_file.write('n = ' + repr(n) + '\n')
        for line in source_file.readlines()[2:]:
            temp_file.write(line)
        source_file.close()
        temp_file.close()
        os.system('python ' + temp_filename)
        os.remove(temp_filename)
        sys.exit(0)
print list_to_sort

Advertencia: no intente esto con ninguna lista de más de 5 elementos. Incluso 5 es muy lento.

Mi solución. Incluye manejo de errores y una función que conserva el espacio en blanco al ordenar los números, es decir, el espacio en blanco permanece en su lugar; Los números se mueven.

p.ej,

Please tell me your favorite list of numbers.
I'll sort them for you.  
7, 8, 6, 7, 1, 3, 5
1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8

9,  6  ,8, 43, 90, 13   , 54, 3223, 4
4,  6  ,8, 9, 13, 43   , 54, 90, 3223

Explicación: el protocolo de pickle en realidad proporciona mucha libertad, sobre todo la libertad de importar y llamar a objetos arbitrarios con argumentos. La limitación más destacada es que la máquina virtual de pickle no tiene ningún tipo de control de flujo, por lo que cualquier código implementado puramente en la máquina virtual de pickle debe usar el control de flujo dentro de las funciones de la biblioteca estándar de Python para lograr efectos similares. Esta implementación de la ordenación utiliza un Sleepsort basado en la rutina construido por la aplicación liberal de iteradores y la aplicación parcial.

El código de Python equivalente sería algo como esto:

from asyncio import get_event_loop, sleep
from operator import add
from functools import partial
values = list(map(int, input().split()))
times = list(map(partial(add, -min(values)), values))
list(map(get_event_loop().call_later, times, map(partial(partial, print), values)))
get_event_loop().run_until_complete(sleep(max(times)+1))
