Sorting algorithms/Radix sort
From Rosetta Code
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Sorting Algorithm
This is a sorting algorithm. It may be applied to a set of data in order to sort it.
Heapsort | Mergesort | Quicksort
O(n log2n) Sorts
Shell Sort
O(n2) Sorts
Bubble sort | Cocktail sort | Comb sort | Gnome sort | Insertion sort | Selection sort | Strand sort
Other Sorts
Bead sort | Bogosort | Counting sort | Pancake sort | Permutation sort | Radix sort | Sleep sort | Stooge sort
In this task, the goal is to sort an integer array with the radix sort algorithm. The primary purpose is to complete the characterization of sort algorithms task.

Implements a least significant digit radix sort and a recursive most significant digit radix sort.
Note: the LSD radix sort uses the standard library std::stable_partition algorithm. This algorithm is guaranteed to preserve relative order and has a higher runtime cost. The MSD radix sort uses std::partition and can be significantly faster.

bool operator()(int value) const // function call operator
{

return value < 0; // negative int to left partition
else
return !(value & (1 << bit)); // 0 bit to left partition
}

This solution assumes the radix is a power of 2:
def radixSort = { final radixExponent, list ->
def fromBuckets = new TreeMap([0:list])
def toBuckets = new TreeMap()
final radix = 2**radixExponent
final mask = radix - 1
final radixDigitSize = (int)Math.ceil(64/radixExponent)
final digitWidth = radixExponent
(0..<radixDigitSize).each { radixDigit ->
fromBuckets.values().findAll { it != null }.flatten().each {
print '.'
long bucketNumber = (long)((((long)it) >>> digitWidth*radixDigit) & mask)
toBuckets[bucketNumber] = toBuckets[bucketNumber] ?: []
toBuckets[bucketNumber] << it
}
(fromBuckets, toBuckets) = [toBuckets, fromBuckets]
toBuckets.clear()
}
final overflow = 2**(63 % radixExponent)
final pos = {it < overflow}
final neg = {it >= overflow}
final keys = fromBuckets.keySet()
final twosComplIndx = [] + (keys.findAll(neg)) + (keys.findAll(pos))
twosComplIndx.collect { fromBuckets[it] }.findAll { it != null }.flatten()
}

keys f/. data evaluates the function f on each group of data at the same position as similar keys. Sorting requires ordered keys. This code uses a J idiom: prepend the keys and matching data. The extra data is removed by behead }..

)
An alternate implementation is
radixsort=: (] #~ [: +/ =/) i.@(>./)
This uses the maximum value of the list for the base, which allows the list to be sorted in one pass.
Example use:
radixsort ?.@#~10
4 5 6 6 6 6 6 8 8
Or, for negative number support:
rsort=: (] + radixsort@:-) <./
Example:
rsort _6+?.@#~10
_2 _1 0 0 0 0 0 2 2
