[Closed] C++ style map in maxscript

what about a bit modified handmade binary search?


fn binarySearchLowerIndex arr val = (
    
    local count = arr.count    
    local found = false
    local index = 0
    
    if count == 0   then ( index = 0; found = true ) 
    else if val <= arr[1] then ( index = 0; found = true )
    else if val >= arr[count] then  ( index = count + 1; found = true )
    else if count == 1 do (
        
        if val > arr[1] then index = 2 else index = 0
        found = true
    )
    
    if found then index else (

        bounds = [ 1, arr.count, 0, 0 ]    
            
        while (bounds[2] - bounds[1]) > 1 and not found and not keyboard.escPressed do (
            
            m = (bounds[1] + bounds[2]) / 2
            
            if arr[m] == val do (

                found = true
                index = int m
                
            )
            
            if val >= arr[m] do bounds[1] = m
            if val <= arr[m] do bounds[2] = m
            
        )

        if found then index else 1 + int bounds[1]
        
    )    
    
)

of course! there are many possible implementations of pure mxs b-search (some were posted in “Threads and Beads” thread on this forum) . But someone doesn’t want to think at all !!!


fn comp_fn a b = if (a < b) then -1 else if (a > b) then 1 else 0
fn b_search arr key comp_function = 
(
   local pivot, start = 1, stop = arr.count
   local index = 0, result
   
   while (result != 0 and start <= stop) do
   (
      pivot = (start + stop) / 2
      result = comp_function key arr[pivot]


      if (result == 0) then index = pivot
      else if (result > 0) then start = pivot + 1
      else stop = pivot - 1
   )


   if (index == 0 and result > 0) then pivot += 1
   
   [index, pivot]
)


-- where index is found index, and pivot is the index where we can insert


arr = for k=1 to 100000 collect (random 0 10000000)
qsort arr comp_fn


v = b_search arr arr[999] comp_fn


(
   gc()

   t = timestamp()
   h = heapfree

   for k=1 to 1000 do
   (
      b_search arr arr[random 1 arr.count] comp_fn
   )

   format "time:% heap:%
" (timestamp() - t) (h - heapfree)
)


i didn’t test it very well because i wrote it for 20 min
