{{task|Sorting Algorithms}} {{Sorting Algorithm}} {{Wikipedia|Gnome sort}}
Gnome sort is a sorting algorithm which is similar to [[Insertion sort]], except that moving an element to its proper place is accomplished by a series of swaps, as in [[Bubble Sort]].
The pseudocode for the algorithm is: '''function''' ''gnomeSort''(a[0..size-1]) i := 1 j := 2 '''while''' i < size '''do''' '''if''' a[i-1] <= a[i] '''then''' ''// for descending sort, use >= for comparison'' i := j j := j + 1 '''else''' '''swap''' a[i-1] '''and''' a[i] i := i - 1 '''if''' i = 0 '''then''' i := j j := j + 1 '''endif''' '''endif''' '''done'''
;Task: Implement the Gnome sort in your language to sort an array (or list) of numbers.
ActionScript
function gnomeSort(array:Array)
{
var pos:uint = 0;
while(pos < array.length)
{
if(pos == 0 || array[pos] >= array[pos-1])
pos++;
else
{
var tmp = array[pos];
array[pos] = array[pos-1];
array[pos-1] = tmp;
pos--;
}
}
return array;
}
Ada
This example is a generic procedure for constrained array types.
generic
type Element_Type is private;
type Index is (<>);
type Collection is array(Index) of Element_Type;
with function "<=" (Left, Right : Element_Type) return Boolean is <>;
procedure Gnome_Sort(Item : in out Collection);
procedure Gnome_Sort(Item : in out Collection) is
procedure Swap(Left, Right : in out Element_Type) is
Temp : Element_Type := Left;
begin
Left := Right;
Right := Temp;
end Swap;
I : Integer := Index'Pos(Index'Succ(Index'First));
J : Integer := I + 1;
begin
while I <= Index'Pos(Index'Last) loop
if Item(Index'Val(I - 1)) <= Item(Index'Val(I)) then
I := J;
J := J + 1;
else
Swap(Item(Index'Val(I - 1)), Item(Index'Val(I)));
I := I - 1;
if I = Index'Pos(Index'First) then
I := J;
J := J + 1;
end if;
end if;
end loop;
end Gnome_Sort;
Usage example:

with Ada.Text_Io; use Ada.Text_Io;
procedure Gnome_Sort_Test is

AWK
AWK arrays can be passed as parameters, but not returned, so they are usually global.
This version includes the mark/resume optimization. It remembers where it was before backing up so that once an item is backed up to its proper place the process resumes from where it was before backing up.

Note: This example relies on [[Sorting_algorithms/Bubble_sort#Icon| the supporting procedures 'sortop', and 'demosort' in Bubble Sort]]. The full demosort exercises the named sort of a list with op = "numeric", "string", ">>" (lexically gt, descending),">" (numerically gt, descending), a custom comparator, and also a string.
Abbreviated sample output:

## J
{{eff note|J|/:~}}
```J
position=: 0 {.@I.@, [
swap=: ] A.~ *@position * #@[ !@- <:@position
gnome=: swap~ 2 >/\ ]
gnomes=: gnome^:_
Note 1: this implementation of swap is actually rather silly, and will not work on long lists. A better implementation would be:
swap=: position (] {~ _1 0 + [)`(0 _1 + [)`]}^:(*@[) ]
Note 2: this implementation only works for domains where > is defined (in J, "greater than" only works on numbers). To work around this issue, you could define:
gt=: -.@(-: /:~)@,&<
gnome=: swap~ 2 gt/\ ]
Note 3: this implementation does not return intermediate results. If you want them, you could use
gnomeps=: gnome^:a:
Note 4: gnomeps just shows intermediate results and does not show the gnome's position. You can extract the gnome's position using an expression such as
2 ~:/\ gnomeps
.

## Ursala
The function is parameterized by a relational predicate and
operates on a list. The algorithm is to scan forward until
finding an item out of order, bubble it backwards to its
proper position and resume scanning forward from where it was.
```Ursala
gnome_sort "p" =
@NiX ^=lx -+ # iteration
~&r?\~& @lNXrX ->llx2rhPlrPCTxPrtPX~&lltPlhPrCXPrX ~&ll&& @llPrXh not "p", # backward bubble
->~&rhPlCrtPX ~&r&& ~&lZ!| @bh "p"+- # forward scan
Most of the code is wasted on dull but unavoidable stack manipulations. Here is a test program using the lexical partial order relation.
