I have written the following class:
public class SortingObjectsWithAngleField implements Comparator<Point> {
public int compare(Point p1, Point p2) {
double delta = p1.getAngle() - p2.getAngle();
if(delta == 0.00001)
return 0;
return (delta > 0.00001) ? 1 : -1;
}
}
Then, in my main()
method, I have created a List
to which I add some objects which has "X" and "angle" field.
I then use:
Collections.sort(list, new SortingObjectsWithAngleField());
What is the complexity of this sort method?
You could have read up the docs on Collections sort, but here it is for you:
The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n log(n) performance.
Your Comparator doesn't change this complexity, unless you do anything with loops over your collection in it, which you don't.
