Assuming a stable sorting algorithm
Neither sort nor sort_by use a stable sorting algorithm though.

But, at least it was pretty fast even if it was not correct. :wink:

Hehe, talk about priorities. :slight_smile:

require ‘benchmark’
Infinity = 1.0/0.0
Benchmark.bm(25) do |b|
a = (1…500000).map{|n| rand(10) - 20}
b.report(“A”) {
a.sort.sort_by{|n| n.zero? ? 1 : 0}
}
b.report(“D”) {
tmp = a.partition{|x| x != 0 }
tmp[0].sort + tmp[1]
}
b.report(“F”) {
n = 0
a.sort_by{|x| n+= 1; [x, n]}.sort_by{|n| n.zero? ? 1 : 0}
}
b.report(“G”) {
tmp = a.sort.partition{|x| x != 0 }
tmp[0] + tmp[1]
}
b.report(“H”) {
tmp = a.sort.select{|x| x != 0 }
tmp + ([0] * (a.size - tmp.size))
}
end

Hello, I need to sort
[1,4,2,0,8,9] to [1,2,4,8,9,0]

A simple ascending sort but with the zero values to the end

I really don’t see how to do

Thanks for your help

Another good idea! However, you can save yourself a bit of typing:
