StackSort is a simple sorting algorithm implemented with stacks.

var StackSort = require('StackSort')

var toSort = [5, 2, 3, 1, 8]

var sorted = StackSort(toSort)

Installation

$ npm install stacksort

Examples

Sorting Integer arrays

var toSort = [3, 2, 1, 8, 5]

// Ascending order
StackSort(toSort)
// Descending order
StackSort(toSort, function(a, b){
  return b - a
})

Sorting Alphabets arrays

const Alphabets = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
var toSort = ['d', 'c', 'b', 'a', 'e']

// Ascending order
StackSort(toSort, function (a, b) {
  return Alphabets.indexOf(a) - Alphabets.indexOf(b)
})
// Descending order
StackSort(toSort, function (a, b) {
  return Alphabets.indexOf(b) - Alphabets.indexOf(a)
})

Documentation

Stacksort( array , compareFn )

StackSort takes in an array as the first argument, an optional comparison function as the second argument, and returns the sorted array.

If no comparison function is provided, the comparison function defaults to the following:

function (a, b) {
  return a - b
}
