The Algorithms - PHP

All algorithms implemented in PHP (for educational purposes only)

These are for demonstration purposes only. There are many implementations of sorts in the Javascript standard library that are much better for performance reasons.

Sort Algorithms

Bubble

alt text

FromWikipedia:Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list to be sorted, compares each pair of adjacent items and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. The pass through the list is repeated until no swaps are needed, which indicates that the list is sorted.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(n^2)
  • Best case performance O(n)
  • Average case performance O(n^2)

Insertion

alt text

FromWikipedia:Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array (or list) one item at a time. It is much less efficient on large lists than more advanced algorithms such as quicksort, heapsort, or merge sort.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(n^2)
  • Best case performance O(n)
  • Average case performance O(n^2)

Merge

alt text

FromWikipedia:In computer science, merge sort (also commonly spelled mergesort) is an efficient, general-purpose, comparison-based sorting algorithm. Most implementations produce a stable sort, which means that the implementation preserves the input order of equal elements in the sorted output. Mergesort is a divide and conquer algorithm that was invented by John von Neumann in 1945.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(n log n)
  • Best case performance O(n)
  • Average case performance O(n)

Quick

alt text

FromWikipedia:Quicksort (sometimes called partition-exchange sort) is an efficient sorting algorithm, serving as a systematic method for placing the elements of an array in order.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(n^2)
  • Best case performance O(n log n) or O(n) with three-way partition
  • Average case performance O(n^2)

Selection

alt text

FromWikipedia:The algorithm divides the input list into two parts: the sublist of items already sorted, which is built up from left to right at the front (left) of the list, and the sublist of items remaining to be sorted that occupy the rest of the list. Initially, the sorted sublist is empty and the unsorted sublist is the entire input list. The algorithm proceeds by finding the smallest (or largest, depending on sorting order) element in the unsorted sublist, exchanging (swapping) it with the leftmost unsorted element (putting it in sorted order), and moving the sublist boundaries one element to the right.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(n^2)
  • Best case performance O(n^2)
  • Average case performance O(n^2)

Shell

alt text

FromWikipedia:Shellsort is a generalization of insertion sort that allows the exchange of items that are far apart. The idea is to arrange the list of elements so that, starting anywhere, considering every nth element gives a sorted list. Such a list is said to be h-sorted. Equivalently, it can be thought of as h interleaved lists, each individually sorted.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(nlog2 2n)
  • Best case performance O(n log n)
  • Average case performance depends on gap sequence

Search Algorithms

Linear

alt text

FromWikipedia:linear search or sequential search is a method for finding a target value within a list. It sequentially checks each element of the list for the target value until a match is found or until all the elements have been searched. Linear search runs in at worst linear time and makes at most n comparisons, where n is the length of the list.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(n)
  • Best case performance O(1)
  • Average case performance O(n)
  • Worst case space complexity O(1) iterative

Binary

alt text

FromWikipedia:Binary search, also known as half-interval search or logarithmic search, is a search algorithm that finds the position of a target value within a sorted array. It compares the target value to the middle element of the array; if they are unequal, the half in which the target cannot lie is eliminated and the search continues on the remaining half until it is successful.

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(log n)
  • Best case performance O(1)
  • Average case performance O(log n)
  • Worst case space complexity O(1)

Jump

alt-text

FromWikipedia:Jump search or block search refers to a search algorithm for ordered lists. It works by first checking all items Lkm, where {\displaystyle k\in \mathbb {N} } k\in \mathbb {N} and m is the block size, until an item is found that is larger than the search key. To find the exact position of the search key in the list a linear search is performed on the sublist L[(k-1)m, km].

Properties

  • Worst case performance O(n)
  • Best case performance O(√n)
  • Average case performance O(√n)
  • Worst case space complexity O(1)

Ciphers

Caesar

alt text
In cryptography, aCaesar cipher,also known as Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's code or Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques.
It isa type of substitution cipherin which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the Alpha bet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on.
The method is named afterJulius Caesar,who used it in his private correspondence.
The encryption step performed by a Caesar cipher is often incorporated as part of more complex schemes, such as the Vigenère cipher, and still has modern application in the ROT13 system. As with all single- Alpha bet substitution ciphers, the Caesar cipher is easily broken and in modern practice offers essentially no communication security.

Vigenère

TheVigenère cipheris a method of encrypting Alpha betic text by using a series ofinterwoven Caesar ciphersbased on the letters of a keyword. It isa form of poly Alpha betic substitution.
The Vigenère cipher has been reinvented many times. The method was originally described by Giovan Battista Bellaso in his 1553 book La cifra del. Sig. Giovan Battista Bellaso; however, the scheme was later misattributed to Blaise de Vigenère in the 19th century, and is now widely known as the "Vigenère cipher".
Though the cipher is easy to understand and implement, for three centuries it resisted all attempts to break it; this earned it the descriptionle chiffre indéchiffrable(French for 'the indecipherable cipher'). Many people have tried to implement encryption schemes that are essentially Vigenère ciphers. Friedrich Kasiski was the first to publish a general method of deciphering a Vigenère cipher in 1863.

Transposition

In cryptography, atransposition cipheris a method of encryption by which the positions held by units of plaintext (which are commonly characters or groups of characters) are shifted according to a regular system, so that the ciphertext constitutes a permutation of the plaintext. That is, the order of the units is changed (the plaintext is reordered).
Mathematically a bijective function is used on the characters' positions to encrypt and an inverse function to decrypt.

Checksums

Luhn's

The Luhn algorithm or Luhn formula, also known as the "modulus 10" or "mod 10" algorithm, is a simple checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers, IMEI numbers, National Provider Identifier numbers in the United States, Canadian Social Insurance Numbers, Israel ID Numbers and Greek Social Security Numbers. It was created by IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn and described in U.S. Patent No. 2,950,048, filed on January 6, 1954, and granted on August 23, 1960.
