Write a function that takes a numerical vector and returns the sorted vector. To detect whether a vector is sorted, use diff() and all() (or any()). So long as the vector is not sorted, pick two random positions from the vector and swap them. (in matlab program)

  • You must use a while loop to solve this problem.
  • Do not use for loops.
  • Do not use sort(), min(), max(), sortrows(), unique() functions.
    >> v = sortbyrandomswaps( [39 25 91 71] )
    v =
      [ 25 39 71 91 ]

Answer #1

function v = sortbyrandomswaps(vec)
while(1)
k1 = randi(size(vec)) ;
k2 = randi(size(vec)) ;
temp = vec(k1);
vec(k1) = vec(k2);
vec(k2) = temp;
if all(diff(vec)>=0)
break;
end
end

v = vec;
end

v = sortbyrandomswaps( [39 25 91 71] )
v = sortbyrandomswaps( [5 4 3 2 1] )
