c++ - 随机数外部排序

Question

我需要编写一个生成 N 个随机数的程序，并将它们按降序写入二进制文件。它应该在不使用任何使用主内存的排序算法的情况下完成。这是我到目前为止所做的:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream> 
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;
int main () {
  srand(time(0));
  rand();
  int N;
  do{
    cout << "Unesite N: ";
    cin >> N;
    } while(N<=0);

  ofstream br("broj.dat", ios::binary | ios::trunc);

  for(int i = 0; i<N; i++){
    int a = rand();
    br.write((char *)&a, sizeof(a));
  }
  br.close();

  return 0;
}

所以，我生成了随机数并将它们写入二进制文件，但我不知道如何对其进行排序。

您可以在线性时间内按排序顺序生成数字。描述如何执行此操作的论文是:Bentley & Saxe 生成的随机数排序列表

/**

 * This is an implementation of an algorithm developed by Bentley and Sax, and

 * 'Generating Sorted Lists of Random Numbers'.

public class SortedRandomDoubleGenerator {
    private long       valsFound;
    private double     curMax;
    private final long numVals;

    /**

     * 
     * @param numVals the size of the list of sorted random doubles to be
     *        generated
     */
    public SortedRandomDoubleGenerator(long numVals) {
        curMax = 1.0;
        valsFound = 0;
        this.numVals = numVals;
    }

    /**
     * @return the next random number, in descending order.
     */
    public double getNext() {
        curMax = curMax
                * Math.pow(Math.E, Math.log(RandomNumbers.nextDouble())
                        / (numVals - valsFound));
        valsFound++;
        return curMax;
    }
}
