    • Enum Constant Detail

      • CENTRAL

        public static final PivotingStrategy CENTRAL
        A mid point strategy based on the average of begin and end indices.
      • MEDIAN_OF_3

        public static final PivotingStrategy MEDIAN_OF_3
        Classic median of 3 strategy given begin and end indices.
    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static PivotingStrategy[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (PivotingStrategy c : PivotingStrategy.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static PivotingStrategy valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • pivotIndex

        public abstract int pivotIndex​(double[] work,
                                       int begin,
                                       int end)
                                throws MathIllegalArgumentException
        Find pivot index of the array so that partition and Kth element selection can be made
        Parameters:
        work - data array
        begin - index of the first element of the slice
        end - index after the last element of the slice
        Returns:
        the index of the pivot element chosen between the first and the last element of the array slice
        Throws:
        MathIllegalArgumentException - when indices exceeds range
