Sort an integer array
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

with Gnat.Heap_Sort_G;
 
procedure Integer_Sort is
   -- Heap sort package requires data to be in index values starting at
   -- 1 while index value 0 is used as temporary storage
   type Int_Array is array(Natural range <>) of Integer;
   Values : Int_Array := (0,1,8,2,7,3,6,4,5);

C

Works with: gcc version 4.0.1

#include <stdlib.h>

int intcmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
    return *(int *)a - *(int *)b;
}

int main()
{
    int nums[5] = {2,4,3,1,2};
    qsort(nums, 5, sizeof(int), intcmp);
}

C++

Works with: g++ version 4.0.1

Simple Array

#include <algorithm>

int main()
{
    int nums[] = {2,4,3,1,2};
    std::sort(nums, nums+5);
}

std::vector

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> nums;
    nums.push_back(2);
    nums.push_back(4);
    nums.push_back(3);
    nums.push_back(1);
    nums.push_back(2);
    std::sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
}

std::list

#include <list>

int main()
{
    std::list<int> nums;
    nums.push_back(2);
    nums.push_back(4);
    nums.push_back(3);
    nums.push_back(1);
    nums.push_back(2);
    nums.sort();
}

Clean

We use list and array comprehensions to convert an array to and from a list in order to use the built-in sort on lists.

import StdEnv

sortArray :: (a e) -> a e | Array a e & Ord e
sortArray array = {y \\ y <- sort [x \\ x <-: array]}

Start :: {#Int}
Start = sortArray {2, 4, 3, 1, 2}

Common Lisp

In Common Lisp, the sort function takes a predicate that is used as the comparator. This parameter can be any two-argument function. To sort a sequence (list or array) of integers, call sort with the < operator as the predicate:

CL-USER> (sort #(9 -2 1 2 8 0 1 2) #'<)
#(-2 0 1 1 2 2 8 9)

D

auto nums = [2,4,3,1,2];
auto snums = nums.dup.sort; // Sort
nums.sort;                  // Sort in-place

E

[2,4,3,1,2].sort()

Erlang

List = [2, 4, 3, 1, 2].
SortedList = lists:sort(List).

Forth

Works with: Win32Forth version 4.2

create test-data 2 , 4 , 3 , 1 , 2 ,
test-data 5 cell-sort

Fortran

Works with: Silverfrost FTN95

CALL ISORT@(b, a, n)
! n = number of elements
! a = array to be sorted
! b = array of indices of a. b(1) 'points' to the minimum value etc. 

Haskell

Works with: GHCi version 6.6

nums = [2,4,3,1,2] :: [Int]
sorted = List.sort nums

IDL

 result = array[sort(array)]

J

/:~

The verb /:~ sorts anything. For example:

   ] a=: 10 ?@$ 100    NB. random vector
63 92 51 92 39 15 43 89 36 69
   /:~ a
15 36 39 43 51 63 69 89 92 92

Arrays of any rank are treated as lists of component arrays. Thus /:~ sorts not only atoms within a list, but whole lists within a table, tables within a three-axis array, and so on. The level of structure at which sorting occurs may also be specified, so that /:~"1 sorts the atoms within the finest-grained list within the array, regardless of the overall rank of the array.
This code also applies to any data type.

Java

Array

import java.util.Arrays;

public class example {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] nums = {2,4,3,1,2};
        Arrays.sort(nums);
    }
}

List

Works with: Java version 1.5+

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;

public class example {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        List<Integer> nums = Arrays.asList(2,4,3,1,2);
        Collections.sort(nums);
    }
}

JavaScript

Works with: Firefox version 2.0

JavaScript sorts lexically by default, so "10000" comes before "2". To sort numerically, a custom comparator is used.

function numberSorter(a, b) {
  return a - b;
}
var numbers = [20, 7, 65, 10, 3, 0, 8, -60];
numbers.sort(numberSorter);
alert( numbers );

Mathematica

numbers = Sort[{2,4,3,1,2}]

MAXScript

arr = #(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
arr = sort arr

Nial

sort >= 9 6 8 7 1 10
= 10 9 8 7 6 1

Objective-C

Works with: GCC version 4.0.1 (apple)

- (void)example
{
    NSArray *nums, *sorted;
    nums = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
        [NSNumber numberWithInt:2],
        [NSNumber numberWithInt:4],
        [NSNumber numberWithInt:3],
        [NSNumber numberWithInt:1],
        [NSNumber numberWithInt:2],
        nil];
    sorted = [nums sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];
}

OCaml

Array

let nums = [|2; 4; 3; 1; 2|]
Array.sort compare nums

List

let nums = [2; 4; 3; 1; 2]
let sorted = List.sort compare nums

Perl

Works with: Perl version 5.8.6

@nums = (2,4,3,1,2);
@sorted = sort {$a <=> $b} @nums;

PHP

Works with: PHP version 4.4.4 CLI

<?php
$nums = array(2,4,3,1,2);
sort($nums);
?>

Pop11

Pop11 library function sorts lists. So we first convert array to list, then sort and finally convert back:

lvars ar = {2 4 3 1 2};
;;; Convert array to list.
;;; destvector leaves its results and on the pop11 stack + an integer saying how many there were
destvector(ar);
;;; conslist uses the items left on the stack plus the integer, to make a list of those items.
lvars ls = conslist();
;;; Sort it
sort(ls) -> ls;
;;; Convert list to array
destlist(ls);
consvector() -> ar;

The above can be abbreviated to more economical, but possibly more opaque, syntax, using pop11 as a functional language:

lvars ar = {2 4 3 1 2};
consvector(destlist(sort(conslist(destvector(ar))))) -> ar;
;;; print the sorted vector:
ar =>
** {1 2 2 3 4}

(The list created by conslist will be garbage-collected.)

Alternatively, using the datalist function, even more economically:

lvars ar = {2 4 3 1 2};
consvector(destlist(sort(datalist(ar)))) -> ar;

or in Forth-like pop11 postfix syntax:

lvars ar = {2 4 3 1 2};
ar.datalist.sort.destlist.consvector -> ar;

Python

Works with: Python version 2.3

nums = [2,4,3,1,2]
nums.sort()

Note: The array nums is sorted in place.

Interpreter: Python 2.4 (and above)

You could also use the built-in sorted() function

 nums = sorted([2,4,3,1,2])

R

nums <- (2,4,3,1,2)
sorted <- sort(nums)

Raven

Sort list in place:

[ 2 4 3 1 2 ] sort

Ruby

Works with: Ruby version 1.8.4

nums = [2,4,3,1,2]
sorted = nums.sort

Seed7

var array integer: nums is [] (2, 4, 3, 1, 2);

nums := sort(nums);

Smalltalk

#(7 5 2 9 0 -1) asSortedCollection

Tcl

 set result [lsort -integer $unsorted_list]

Toka

This can be done by using the bubble sort library:

needs bsort
arrayname number_elements bsort
