STRING quicksort ( <VOID POINTER array> , <INT size> , <INT datacount> , <INT dataoffset> , <BYTE datasize> , <BYTE type> )

Sort an array by the Quicksort ordering algorithm.

This function is very handy for user defined types for elements in which a sort-variable is present.

Parameters

VOID POINTER array	- Pointer to the first element of the array to be sorted.
INT size	- The size of an element in the array in bytes.
INT datacount	- The number of elements in the array.
INT dataoffset	- The number of bytes the sort-variable in each element is relative to the start of that element.
BYTE datasize	- The size of the sort-variable in bytes.
BYTE type	- The type of the sort-variable. (0:integer, 1:float)

Returns

INT: true

Example

Program sorting;
Const
    myarray_length = 10;
Global
    int myarray[myarray_length-1];
Begin

    // Insert random numbers
    for(x=0; x<myarray_length; x++)
        myarray[x] = rand(0,100);
    end

    // Show array
    say("--------------------");
    for(x=0; x<myarray_length; x++)
        say(x + " - " + myarray[x]);
    end

    // Sort
    quicksort(&myarray[0],sizeof(int),myarray_length,0,sizeof(int),0);

    // Show array
    say("--------------------");
    for(x=0; x<myarray_length; x++)
        say(x + " - " + myarray[x]);
    end

    // Wait until ESC is pressed
    Repeat
         frame;
    Until(key(_esc))

End
