package examples
/** Quick sort, functional style */
object sort1 {
def sort(a: List[Int]): List[Int] = {
if (a.length < 2)
a
else {
val pivot = a(a.length / 2)
sort(a.filter(_ < pivot)) :::
a.filter(_ == pivot) :::
sort(a.filter(_ > pivot))
}
}
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val xs = List(6, 2, 8, 5, 1)
println(xs)
println(sort(xs))
}
}
You can also use Scala syntax highlighting in Gist now. It’s bonus.
