Value of k is s

#1

why value of k is always stared with s and not to 0. plz give a example to show that

#2

hello @kingshuk441,
initialising k with s makes implementation easy.
we dont need to add or subtract anything.

if u want to stores values starting from 0 indices then that is also correct .

#3

for k=0 it is giving garbage values after sorting

#4

if u are storing from indices 0 then make sure u are accessing same indices while copy values to original array.

also pls share ur code.

this is the error.

here in temp array u are accessing values from indices s to e.
but u have stored values in temp array from indices 0 to k

#7

it should be something as

#8

why this i+s
can u plz explain with a example

#9

see index 0 of temp array means index s of original array.
index 1 of temp array means index s+1 of original array.
index 2 of temp array means index s+2 of original array.
index i of temp array means index i+s of original array.
thats why while copying values back to original array.
i m using
ar[i+s]=temp[i]
