Implement the Thanos sorting algorithm












39












$begingroup$


The sorting algorithm goes like this:



While the list is not sorted, snap half of all items (remove them from the list). Continue until the list is sorted or only one item remains (which is sorted by default). This sorting algorithm may give different results based on implementation.



The item removal procedure is up to the implementation to decide, but the list should be half as long as before after one pass of the item removal procedure. Your algorithm may decide to remove either the first half or the list, the last half of the list, all odd items, all even items, one at a time until the list is half as long, or any not mentioned.



The input list can contain an arbitrary amount of items (within reason, let’s say up to 1000 items), not only perfectly divisible lists of 2^n items. You will have to either remove (n+1)/2 or (n-1)/2 items if the list is odd, either hardcoded or decided randomly during runtime. Decide for yourself: what would Thanos do if the universe contained an odd amount of living things?



The list is sorted if no item is smaller than any previous item. Duplicates may occur in the input, and may occur in the output.



Your program should take in an array of integers (via stdin or as parameters, either individual items or an array parameter), and return the sorted array (or print it to stdout).



Examples:



// A sorted list remains sorted
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] -> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

// A list with duplicates may keep duplicates in the result
[1, 2, 3, 4, 3] -> [1, 3, 3] // Removing every second item
[1, 2, 3, 4, 3] -> [3, 4, 3] -> [4, 3] -> [3] // Removing the first half
[1, 2, 3, 4, 3] -> [1, 2] // Removing the last half


[1, 2, 4, 3, 5] could give different results:



// Removing every second item:
[1, 2, 4, 3, 5] -> [1, 4, 5]


or:



// Removing the first half of the list
[1, 2, 4, 3, 5] -> [3, 5] // With (n+1)/2 items removed
[1, 2, 4, 3, 5] -> [4, 3, 5] -> [3, 5] // With (n-1)/2 items removed


or:



// Removing the last half of the list
[1, 2, 4, 3, 5] -> [1, 2] // With (n+1)/2 items removed
[1, 2, 4, 3, 5] -> [1, 2, 4] // With (n-1)/2 items removed


or:



// Taking random items away until half (in this case (n-1)/2) of the items remain
[1, 2, 4, 3, 5] -> [1, 4, 3] -> [4, 3] -> [4]

              This is a function submission. Input from the left, output to the right, as usual. (The TIO link uses a command-line argument that automatically wraps the function into a full program, so that you can see it in action.)



              Explanation



              ≤₁|ḍt↰
              ≤₁ Assert that {the input} is sorted {and output it}
              | Handler for exceptions (e.g. assertion failures):
              ḍ Split the list into two halves (as evenly as possible)
              t Take the last (i.e. second) half
              ↰ Recurse {and output the result of the recursion}


              Bonus round



              ≤₁|⊇ᵇlᵍḍhtṛ↰


              Try it online!



              The snap's meant to be random, isn't it? Here's a version of the program that choses the surviving elements randomly (while ensuring that half survive at each round).



              ≤₁|⊇ᵇlᵍḍhtṛ↰
              ≤₁ Assert that {the input} is sorted {and output it}
              | Handler for exceptions (e.g. assertion failures):
              ⊇ᵇ Find all subsets of the input (preserving order)
              lᵍ Group them by length
              ḍht Find the group with median length:
              t last element of
              h first
              ḍ half (split so that the first half is larger)
              ṛ Pick a random subset from that group
              ↰ Recurse


              This would be rather shorter if we could reorder the elements, but whyever would a sorting algorithm want to do that?

              TI-BASIC (TI-84), 47 42 45 bytes



              Ans→L1:Ans→L2:SortA(L1:While not(min(L1=Ans:iPart(.5dim(Ans→dim(L2:L2→L1:SortA(L1:End:Ans


              Input list is in Ans.

              Output is in Ans and is implicitly printed out.



              Explanation:



              Ans→L1                  ;store the input into two lists
              Ans→L2
              SortA(L1 ;sort the first list
              ; two lists are needed because "SortA(" edits the list it sorts
              While not(min(L1=Ans ;loop until both lists are strictly equal
              iPart(.5dim(Ans→dim(L2 ;remove the latter half of the second list
              ; removes (n+1)/2 elements if list has an odd length
              L2→L1 ;store the new list into the first list (updates "Ans")
              SortA(L1 ;sort the first list
              End
              Ans ;implicitly output the list when the loop ends




              Note: TI-BASIC is a tokenized language. Character count does not equal byte count.

                Never submitted in vdm before, so not certain on language specific rules. So I've submitted as a function definition which takes a seq of int and returns a seq of int



                A full program to run might look like this:

                  There's a bit of a bug in the Gaia parser, probably because it hasn't been updated in 2 years.



                  I expected to add the same value to the stack, but alas, it adds a string rather than an array, which caused me no end of confusion.
