Task

Bogosort a list of numbers.


Bogosort simply shuffles a collection randomly until it is sorted.

"Bogosort" is a perversely inefficient algorithm only used as an in-joke.

Its average run-time is   O(n!)   because the chance that any given shuffle of a set will end up in sorted order is about one in   n   factorial,   and the worst case is infinite since there's no guarantee that a random shuffling will ever produce a sorted sequence.

Its best case is   O(n)   since a single pass through the elements may suffice to order them.


Pseudocode:

while not InOrder(list) do
   Shuffle(list)
done


The Knuth shuffle may be used to implement the shuffle part of this algorithm.

11l

F is_sorted(data)
   R all((0 .< data.len - 1).map(i -> @data[i] <= @data[i + 1]))

F bogosort(&data)
   L !is_sorted(data)
      random:shuffle(&data)

V arr = [2, 1, 3]
bogosort(&arr)
print(arr)
Output:
[1, 2, 3]

Common Lisp

Sortedp checks that each element of a list is related by predicate to the next element of the list. I.e., (sortedp (x1 x2 … xn) pred) is true when each of (pred x1 x2), …, (pred xn-1 xn) is true.

nshuffle is the same code as in Knuth shuffle.

(defun nshuffle (sequence)
  (loop for i from (length sequence) downto 2
        do (rotatef (elt sequence (random i))
                    (elt sequence (1- i ))))
  sequence)

(defun sortedp (list predicate)
  (every predicate list (rest list)))

(defun bogosort (list predicate)
  (do ((list list (nshuffle list)))
      ((sortedp list predicate) list)))

Python

import random

def bogosort(l):
    while not in_order(l):
        random.shuffle(l)
    return l

def in_order(l):
    if not l:
        return True
    last = l[0]
    for x in l[1:]:
        if x < last:
            return False
        last = x
    return True

Alternative definition for in_order (Python 2.5)

def in_order(l):
    return all( l[i] <= l[i+1] for i in xrange(0,len(l)-1))

An alternative implementation for Python 2.5 or later:

import random
def bogosort(lst):
   random.shuffle(lst)  # must shuffle it first or it's a bug if lst was pre-sorted! :)
   while lst != sorted(lst):
       random.shuffle(lst)
   return lst

Another alternative implementation, using iterators for maximum efficiency:

import operator
import random
from itertools import dropwhile, imap, islice, izip, repeat, starmap

def shuffled(x):
    x = x[:]
    random.shuffle(x)
    return x

bogosort = lambda l: next(dropwhile(
    lambda l: not all(starmap(operator.le, izip(l, islice(l, 1, None)))),
    imap(shuffled, repeat(l))))

Only the first line is needed to implement the bogo sort, the rest is unit tests and an example.

#lang racket
(define (bogo-sort l) (if (apply <= l) l (bogo-sort (shuffle l))))

(require rackunit)
(check-equal? (bogo-sort '(6 5 4 3 2 1)) '(1 2 3 4 5 6))
(check-equal? (bogo-sort (shuffle '(1 1 1 2 2 2))) '(1 1 1 2 2 2))

(let ((unsorted (for/list ((i 10)) (random 1000))))
  (displayln unsorted)
  (displayln (bogo-sort unsorted)))
Output:

modified bogo sort


When a number is found out of order, two random numbers between the first number's position and
the position of the last number checked are swapped (in other words, swap two numbers within what
has already been sorted and including the number out-of-order.   The search then starts over.
This is repeated as often as it takes to finally get the array in order.

Ruby

def shuffle(l)
    l.sort_by { rand }

def bogosort(l)
    l = shuffle(l) until in_order(l)
    l

def in_order(l)

An alternative implementation:

end

def bogosort(l)
   l = shuffle(l) until l == l.sort

Works with: Ruby version 1.8.7+

def bogosort(l)

Rust

Works with Rust 1.11+, requires rand module

Library: rand

    where F: Fn(&T, &T) -> bool
{
    let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();

Scala

Works with: Scala version 2.8
def isSorted(l: List[Int]) = l.iterator sliding 2 forall (s => s.head <= s.last)

Sidef

    return true if (a.len <= 1)
    var first = a[0]

func bogosort(a) {

}

var arr = 5.of { 100.irand }

Scheme

Uses Knuth shuffle to shuffle the list.

(import (rnrs base (6))
        (srfi :27 random-bits))

(define (shuffle lst)
  (define (swap! vec i j)
    (let ((tmp (vector-ref vec i)))
      (vector-set! vec i (vector-ref vec j))
      (vector-set! vec j tmp)))
  (define vec (list->vector lst))
  (let loop ((i (sub1 (vector-length vec))))
    (unless (zero? i)
      (swap! vec i (random-integer (add1 i)))
      (loop (sub1 i))))
  (vector->list vec))

(define (sorted? lst pred?)
  (cond
   ((null? (cdr lst)) #t)
   ((pred? (car lst) (cadr lst)) (sorted? (cdr lst) pred?))
   (else #f)))

(define (bogosort lst)
  (if (sorted? lst <)
      lst
      (bogosort (shuffle lst))))


(let ((input '(5 4 3 2 1)))
  (display "Input: ")
  (display input)
  (newline)
  (display "Output: ")
  (display (bogosort input))
  (newline))
Output:
Input: (5 4 3 2 1)
Output: (1 2 3 4 5)
