Re: bucket or radix sort not sure but need help

Here is a tutorial on bucket or bin sort. Link

Each array of yours will be a bucket. You can create as many arrays as the buckets you'll need. Then sort each array (bucket). And finally merge all the sorted arrays (buckets). Its pretty simple. The main thing is figuring out how you want to separate your elements out into buckets.

I'll agree with this, you should do some research as to what a bucket search is.

Also how will you be implementing it? Will it be a recoursive bucket sort and thats it. Or will it be a bucket sort followed by another sorting algorithm such as a quick sort.

I'm guessing it will be a solo bucket sort, wikipedia has some good information on how to implement a bucket sort.
