我一直在研究各种讨论快速排序和快速选择的教程和文章，但是我对它们的理解仍然不稳定。

鉴于这种代码结构，我需要能够掌握并解释 quickselect 的工作原理。

// return the kth smallest item
int quickSelect(int items[], int first, int last, int k) {
    int pivot = partition(items, first, last);
    if (k < pivot-first) {
        return quickSelect(items, first, pivot, k);
    } else if (k > pivot) {
        return quickSelect(items, pivot+1, last, k-pivot);
    } else {
        return items[k];
    }
}

在分解成伪代码方面我需要一点帮助，虽然我没有获得分区函数代码，但我想了解它会在提供的快速选择函数的情况下做什么。

我知道快速排序是如何工作的，只是不知道快速选择。我刚刚提供的代码是我们获得的关于如何格式化快速选择的示例。

编辑：更正的代码是

int quickSelect(int items[], int first, int last, int k) 
{
    int pivot = partition(items, first, last);
    if (k < pivot-first+1) 
    { //boundary was wrong
        return quickSelect(items, first, pivot, k);
    } 
    else if (k > pivot-first+1) 
    {//boundary was wrong
        return quickSelect(items, pivot+1, last, k-pivot);
    }
    else 
    {
        return items[pivot];//index was wrong
    }
}

快速选择的重要部分是分区。所以让我先解释一下。

快速选择中的分区选择一个pivot（随机或第一个/最后一个元素）。然后它重新排列列表，使所有小于的元素pivot都位于枢轴左侧，其他元素位于右侧。然后它返回pivot元素的索引。

现在我们在这里找到第 k 个最小的元素。分区后的情况是：

  1. k == pivot. 那么你已经找到了第 k 个最小的了。这是因为分区的工作方式。确实有k - 1一些元素小于kth元素。
  2. k < pivot. 那么第 k 个最小的在 的左侧pivot。
  3. k > pivot. 然后第 k 个最小的在枢轴的右侧。k-pivot要找到它，您实际上必须在右侧找到最小的数字。

顺便说一句，您的代码有一些错误..

int quickSelect(int items[], int first, int last, int k) {
    int pivot = partition(items, first, last);
    if (k < pivot-first+1) { //boundary was wrong
        return quickSelect(items, first, pivot, k);
    } else if (k > pivot-first+1) {//boundary was wrong
        return quickSelect(items, pivot+1, last, k-pivot);
    } else {
        return items[pivot];//index was wrong
    }
}

分区非常简单：它重新排列元素，使小于选定枢轴的元素在数组中的索引低于枢轴，而大于枢轴的元素在数组中的索引更高。

我在之前的回答中谈到了其余的问题。

int quickSelect(int A[], int l, int h,int k)
{
        int p = partition(A, l, h); 
        if(p==(k-1)) return A[p];
        else if(p>(k-1)) return quickSelect(A, l, p - 1,k);  
        else return quickSelect(A, p + 1, h,k);

}

// 分区函数与快速排序相同

我正在阅读 CLRS Algorithm book 来学习快速选择算法，我们可以简单地实现该算法。

package selection;    
import java.util.Random;

/**

 * from an unsorted array in expected time complexity O(N), where N is the
 * number of elements in the array.

public class QuickSelect {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] A = { 7, 1, 2, 6, 0, 1, 96, -1, -100, 10000 };
        for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
            System.out.println("The " + i + "th ascending order element is "
                    + quickSelect(A, 0, A.length - 1, i));
        }
    }

    /**

    private static int quickSelect(int[] A, int p, int r, int i) {

        int partitionIndex = randomizedPartition(A, p, r);
        if (i == partitionIndex) {
            return A[i];

            return quickSelect(A, p, partitionIndex - 1, i);
        } else {
