Sort complex array in swift












-5















I have a array like this:



 array = [[[2,2],[8,8]],[[4,4],[1,1]]]


I want to sort that array like this:



sortedArray = [[[1,1],[2,2]],[[4,4],[8,8]]]


Can anyone provide some kind of hint or solution for how to sort this array.



Thanks!

    Are all elements in the sub-arrays equal? Are all powers of 2? Are they sorted? Do the sub-arrays have the same length?

    You have like three-level nested arrays for what exactly? Could you enlighten a little more your problem?

  • You're going to have to move values out of these arrays into other array to... since 2 and 8 are within 1 array and 4 and 1 are in a different one so a sort based on the actual array is just going to throw back exactly what you already have as. As I suspect others will soon suggest, is there a reason for this amount of nesting, what are you actually trying to solve/store

Let's start with this array:



let array = [[[2,2],[8,8]],[[4,4],[1,1]]]


Flatten it, and sort it by the first element of each sub array:



let flat = array.flatMap { $0 }
.sorted { $0.first ?? 0 < $1.first ?? 0 }


Now we'll need to group each element in an even index with the following element:



let start = flat.startIndex
let end = flat.endIndex
let even = stride(from: start, to: end, by: 2).map { flat[$0] }
let odd = stride(from: flat.index(start, offsetBy: 1), to: end, by: 2).map { flat[$0] }
let zipped = zip(even, odd)
let newArray = zipped.map { [$0.0, $0.1]}


And now you can use the result:



print(newArray) //[[[1, 1], [2, 2]], [[4, 4], [8, 8]]]




A more efficient way of creating pairs from elements at even and odd indices is to use this beautiful extension by matt:



extension Sequence {
func clump(by clumpsize:Int) -> [[Element]] {
let slices : [[Element]] = self.reduce(into:) {
memo, cur in
if memo.count == 0 {
return memo.append([cur])
}
if memo.last!.count < clumpsize {
memo.append(memo.removeLast() + [cur])
} else {
memo.append([cur])
}
}
return slices
}
}


And use it like so:



let array = [[[2,2],[8,8]],[[4,4],[1,1]]]
let flat = array.flatMap { $0 }
.sorted { $0.first ?? 0 < $1.first ?? 0 }
let newArray = flat.clump(by: 2)
print(newArray) //[[[1, 1], [2, 2]], [[4, 4], [8, 8]]]
