Does anyone have a code snippet to compare those values so I can sort
the array of alpha-numeric values that include both characters and
integers in it?
I.e., if we have values like 4236 and 123234, I want 4236 to be second
because 4 is bigger than 1 rather than using the numeric comparison.
The strings can include character values and strings. Basically, I have
the bubble sort function, the question is how to compare those types of
strings in the alpha-numeric order.
i.e.,
A83745
B34974
127734
34456
788
I looked all over the web thinking that this simple question would be
answered somewhere, but could not find the answer. Please help.

As you've looked all over the Web I assume that there is no need to
repeat what you found on my Web site.
The default array sort would be to treat letters as bigger than digits;
no added code would be needed. That would give 12 34 78 A8 B3. You
don't need to write and download a sort algorithm. Use that order if
you can.
How can a string include a string?
You need to do one of two things : write a comparison function for
array.sort to use, or transform your data so that it will sort in the
right order, de-transforming afterwards. Since array.sort on a list of
N items will call the sort function >0(N) times, you should transform
the data if N is large.
The simplest transform might be to take each character of a string in
turn (I assume less than 240 possibilities), look up its rank in a
priority list, encode that as two Hex characters after adding 16, pad
with a "character" 00, and append the original data so that de-
transformation is just a substring operation.

Try a loop over the whole set first to separate the numeric from the
alphas with isNan. Run a sort on the numbers array, then a sort on the
alpha array. Add the sort alpha array elements to the end of the
numeric array. http://www.askblax.com This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Is there any function that i can get the angle from -pi to pi? or I

I know in Matlab, we use 'atan2( )'
Also, is there any function to get the round value, similar with floor

Hi,
Is there a neat way to write a function that can receive either a
string or a list of strings, and then if it receives a string it
manipulates that, otherwise it manipulates each string in the list?
That is, rather than having to send a list of one member
MyFunction(), I can send
MyFunction('var1') or MyFunction()
