bucketSort
Sorts an array of numbers, using the bucket sort algorithm.
- Use
Math.min(),
Math.max()
and the spread operator (...
) to find the minimum and maximum values of the given array. - Use
Array.from()
andMath.floor()
to create the appropriate number ofbuckets
(empty arrays). - Use
Array.prototype.forEach()
to populate each bucket with the appropriate elements from the array. - Use
Array.prototype.reduce()
, the spread operator (...
) andArray.prototype.sort()
to sort each bucket and append it to the result.
const bucketSort = (arr, size = 5) => {
const min = Math.min(...arr);
const max = Math.max(...arr);
const buckets = Array.from(
{ length: Math.floor((max - min) / size) + 1 },
() => []
);
arr.forEach(val => {
buckets[Math.floor((val - min) / size)].push(val);
});
return buckets.reduce((acc, b) => [...acc, ...b.sort((a, b) => a - b)], []);
};
