如何对具有null值的数组进行排序

How to sort an array with null values

本文关键字:数组 排序 null      更新时间:2023-09-26

有很多问题与该主题有关,但我找不到适合我的案例的正确解决方案。

var arr = [a, b, null, d, null]

我用低于逻辑的对这个阵列进行排序

return function(a,b){ 
    if(a === null){
      return 1;
    }
    else if(b === null){
      return -1;
    }
    else if(a === b){
      return 0;
    }
    else if(ascending) {
      return a < b ? -1 : 1;
    }
    else if(!ascending) {
      return a < b ? 1 : -1;
    }
  };

我得到的以下输出

Ascending : [a, b,  d, null,null]
Descending : [d, b,  a, null,null]
Expected : [null, null,d, b,  a]

我做错了什么?

function getSort (ascending) {
  // if ascending, `null` will be pushed towards the end of the array by returning 1
  var nullPosition = ascending ? 1 : -1
  return function (a, b) {
    // if a is null, push it towards whichever end null elements should end up
    if (a == null) return nullPosition
    
    // Note: at this point, a is non-null (previous if statement handled that case).
    //
    // If b is null, it must therefore be placed closer to whichever end the null
    // elements should end up on. If ascending, null elements are pulled towards
    // the right end of the array. If descending, null elements are pulled towards
    // the left.
    //
    // Therefore, we return -nullPosition. If ascending, this is -1, meaning a comes
    // before b; if descending, this is 1, meaning a comes after b. This is
    // clearly the correct behavior, since ascending will push b, which is null,
    // towards the end of the array (with -1) and descending will push b towards
    // the beginning of the array.
    if (b == null) return -nullPosition
    // OTHERWISE, both elements are non-null, so sort normally.
    // if a < b AND
    //     if ascending, a comes first, so return -1 == -nullPosition
    //     if descending, a comes after, so return -nullPosition == -(-1) == 1
    if (a < b) return -nullPosition
    // return the opposite of the previous condition
    if (a > b) return nullPosition
    
    // return 0 if both elements are equal
    return 0
  }
}
function write (arr) { arr.forEach(function (d) { document.write(d + "<br>")})}
var toSort = ['a', 'b', null, 'd', null]
var sortA = getSort(true)
var sortD = getSort(false)
document.write("<br>ASCENDING<br>")
write(toSort.sort(sortA))
document.write("<br>DESCENDING<br>")
write(toSort.sort(sortD))

您可以使用两步方法,先检查null值,然后按字符串排序。

要更改排序顺序,可以交换参数或使用其中一个函数的否定结果。

var data = ['a', 'b', null, 'd', null];
// ascending
data.sort(function (a, b) {
    return (a === null) - (b === null) || ('' + a).localeCompare(b);
});
console.log(data);
// descending
data.sort(function (a, b) {
    return (b === null) - (a === null) || ('' + b).localeCompare(a);
});
console.log(data);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

下面的解决方案怎么样?

var arr = [null, 'e', 'a', 'b', null, 'd', null];
function sortBy(arr, ascending) {
    return arr.sort((a, b) => {
        if(!a) return ascending ? 1 : -1;
        if(!b) return ascending ? -1 : 1;
        if (ascending) return a > b ? 1 : -1;
        return a > b ? -1 : 1;
    })
}
const ascendingArr = sortBy(arr, true);
console.log(ascendingArr);
const decendingArr = sortBy(arr, false);
console.log(decendingArr);
