Sorting algorithms/Bogosort
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.
For comparing various sorts, see compare sorts.

Bogosort a list of numbers. Bogosort simply shuffles a collection until it is sorted.
Pseudocode:
while not InOrder(list) do Shuffle(list);
C++
The following algorithm actually works for all sequences of comparable types; restricting to lists of integers would not make the code simpler. <cpp>#include <iterator>
- include <algorithm>
template<typename ForwardIterator>
void bogosort(ForwardIterator begin, ForwardIterator end)
{
typedef std::iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type value_type;
// if we find two adjacent values where the first is greater than the second, the sequence isn't sorted. while (std::adjacent_find(begin, end, std::greater<value_type>()) != end) std::random_shuffle(begin, end);
}</cpp> Using the is_sorted function, part of the SGI STL implementation:
<cpp>#include <algorithm>
- include <ext/algorithm>
template<typename ForwardIterator>
void bogosort(ForwardIterator begin, ForwardIterator end)
{
while (!__gnu_cxx::is_sorted(begin, end)) std::random_shuffle(begin, end);
}</cpp>

Java
This implementation works for all comparable types (types with compareTo defined). <java>import java.util.Collections; import java.util.LinkedList;
public class Bogosort<T extends Comparable<T>> { public LinkedList<T> bogoSort(LinkedList<T> list){ boolean sorted= false; while(!sorted){ sorted= true; for(int i= 0;i < list.size() - 1;i++){ if(list.get(i).compareTo(list.get(i + 1)) > 0){ sorted= false; } }
if(!sorted){ Collections.shuffle(list); } } return list; } }</java>
