Sorting.js

Collection of 45 sorting algorithms in Javascript with commentaries. It contains 45 sorting algorithms organised as a library which can be used in Node.js and in browser.

Usage:

var arr = [98, 45, 101, 0, 7];

arr = Sorting.bubbleSort(arr);
// [0, 7, 45, 98, 101]

Tests:

Few tests are included (those are non-enumerable)

/**
 * Performs a given amount of tests using arrays of random numbers. 
 * It uses same array of integers for each test.
 * Results are displayed in the console using console.table.
 * @param {number} l     - The length of the each array for sorting. The default value is 1000.
 * @param {number} tests - The number of tests to perform. The default value is 1.
 */
Sorting.test();

/**
 * Performs a test of a given sorting function using an array of random numbers.
 * @param {Function} func - A sorting function. If not provided, the Sorting.quickSort is used. 
 * @param {number}   l    - The length of the array. The default value is 5000.
 */
Sorting.testNumbers(func, l);

/**
 * Performs a test of a given sorting function using an array of random strings.
 * @param {Function} func - A sorting function. If not provided, the Sorting.radixMSDSort is used. 
 * @param {number}   l    - The length of the array. The default value is 5000.
